Take a guess who this week’s Campus Celebrity is…
This week’s Campus Celebrity has had a busy four years. She was the former president of the Denison Club For Students, is in five honorary societies, was an August Orientation leader and her picture was in the last two internship catalogs. She was also published last August and will be in an upcoming movie scheduled to be released this summer.
If you guessed Megan Bertrand, you guessed right! Although Bertrand has a busy schedule she still manages to find time to volunteer in Shanghai, China with orphan children. After living in China as a child, and witnessing the One-Child Policy first hand, she always dreamed of going back and volunteering at an orphanage. After several months of fundraising and planning she flew halfway across the world where she spent two weeks at the Shanghai Children’s Home.
Next year, Megan will be working in Downtown Detroit. She has joined Teach For America’s efforts and will be teaching high school science. Megan states, “I have been blessed with the opportunity of getting an excellent education which has helped me realize the importance of having a vision, and standing up for what I believe in. This is my time to give back.”
Megan is respected around campus and always has a smile on her face. A friend of hers said, “She’s the type of girl you want to bring home to mom..she’s a keeper!” Keep up the positive attitude and hard work Megan! You will be successful in whatever adventure comes your way!
There you have it ladies and gentlemen. Megan Bertrand, this week’s Campus Celebrity.
