POTATOES, SPUDS AND TATERS


5/6

Kiley Phelan recently joined the CSCE sta as an

AmeriCorps VISTA ocusing on the issue o

Family Engagement in the local elementary

schools.

Kiley grew up in Milord, CT, but spent the past

our years studying Political Science and English

at Providence College in Rhode Island. She had

been involved in service growing up, but really

attributes her passion to her experiences at

Providence College. Her reshman year she mad

a trip to Tijuana, Mexico to build houses or

amilies struck by poverty. Ater returning rom

the trip she became involved in the schools

department or public and community service,

eventually leading the trip to Mexico her senior

year. Ater graduation it only made sense to loo

or an experience that would incorporate her

interest in service and higher education. She is

excited to be part o the Champlain College

community, and is looking orward to a great ye

o service and civic engagement. Also, she has a

irrational ear osnakes, but

really its not a

joke.

I am a rst year student here at Champlain

College majoring in Criminal Justice. I amoriginally rom Springvale, ME but I ended

up moving to Plano, TX last October. Some

things you should know about me are that

I have an extremely irrational ear o rogs,

I love to rock climb, and have been a ballet

dancer or 16 years. I you ever see someone

leaping and twirling about campus, it will

more than likely be me. My rst interaction

with The Center was this summer when I

attended the Bike Montreal Summer Launch

Program, which was such a great

experience! Now I get to enjoy being in their

ofce everyday as a new work study sta

member. Unlike in high school, where I only

did the minimum requirement o volunteer

hours, I plan to be very involved with the

community during my time here at

Champlain. So ar I have volunteered at the

DISMAS House and have helped the

Catamount Trail Association clear a new ski

path. And I cant wait to do so much more!
