鈥淚t is really remarkable to see our three graduates providing service in critical areas such as hurricane relief, health care, and education,鈥� said CCELL Director Dr. Sarah Becker. 鈥淭hey did this while also navigating a global pandemic and their own education, which really speaks volumes about their character and resolve.鈥�
