 Congratulations to Rebecca Kendig '88 who received this year's Distinguished Alumna Award at the winter Honor Assembly. Rebecca is a social worker in New Orleans; she helped found the Youth Empowerment Program, a non-profit organization that works with incarcerated youth to help them transition into a productive life when they leave prison. Employed as a mitigation investigator for a law firm, Rebecca researches the lives of death row inmates, trying to find circumstances--like mental retardation or mental illness--that would enable their death penalty to be commuted to life imprisonment.
In her acceptance speech, Rebecca noted: "Through my work as a social worker, particularly with children living in poverty, I have realized that a La Reina education is an anomaly. Millions of children in this country--let alone in this world--do not receive the education that all of you--and I--have been privileged to receive.... Let us profit from the love, care and attention invested in us by our La Reina teachers and families. Become change makers in this world, and work to ensure that the privileges you have been blessed with are provided to all children." |
