Six From Class of 2015 Named Haverford House Fellows

The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship (CPGC) has named its 2015-2016 Haverford House Fellows. These six seniors, who were selected for the fellowship for their commitment to social justice and community action, will spend the year after graduation working four days per week with non-profit organizations in the Philadelphia region and sharing a house together in the West Philadelphia neighborhood of Cedar Park. The fellows, who serve as liaisons between the CPGC and social action agencies as well as collaborators with Haverford community members, will dedicate their fifth workday to projects that serve to engage the College with local groups devoted to creating a more socially just, healthy, and vibrant community.

The 2015-2016 Haverford House Fellows and their host organizations are:

• Callie Perrone, who will work for Drexel University Center for Hunger-Free Communities
• Daniel Schiano, who will work for Philadelphia Legal Assistance's Medical-Legal-Community Partnership
• Kayla Franceschi, who will work for Community Legal Services' Family Advocacy Unit
• Seema Doshi, who will be a Hacia El Futuro Fellow at Puentes de Salud
• Romi Laskin, who will be an Employment Unit Paralegal at Community Legal Services
• Robin Chernow, who will work with the STEAM Initiative at University City Science Center
