Service learning and volunteer work are major components in achieving a well rounded college experience, in addition to helping yourself become a better person in society. Forward in Heath, an organization that travels to Haiti and provides medical care, has been helping Mount Wachusett students achieve this for the past two years, and other volunteers for the past 10 years.
Co-founder and vice president of outreach and travel, Paula Mulqueen has been traveling to Haiti to provide medical treatment since 2001. She believes that providing service through international travel helps create a different perspective on life and shape individuals into more compassionate and caring people. She strives to create the best experience to those in her program.
