PROJECT DIRECTORS
An incredible team of planners and coordinators oversees the Guadalajara Service Learning Project:
Meet Bobby Vaughn:
Dr.
Bobby Vaughn is a faculty member in Sociology/Psychology at Notre Dame
de Namur University. You
can find his office near the cafeteria. He always has a friendly smile
and a cheerful greeting. You can email him at bvaughn@ndnu.edu. When you
work with Dr. Bobby in the Guadalajara Service Learning Project, you
might find him leading groups of students on outings during the day,
taking pictures that intimately reflect the heart of the Mexican
community, leading local tours for NDNU project participants, reflecting with the NDNU teaching team after
the young learners have left, or ... if you're really fortunate, you might happen
upon Dr. Bobby taking a break to play his drums
some warm evening.
Meet Ruth Zucca:
Sra.
Ruth Victorino Zucca teaches Spanish classes at Notre Dame de Namur
University. You can find her office in St. Mary's Hall across from the
PC Lab. You can email her at rvictorino@ndnu.edu,
or call her at 650 508 3672. When you get to Guadalajara, Sra. Ruth
will always have a kind word of encouragement and an organizational tip
or word of advice to get you through. If you have forgotten your
sunscreen
or didn't bring everything on your list, she
knows just the little shop in downtown Guadalajara to get you through.
She delights in meeting the special people in your family and helping
you translate a story for your lesson the next day. And ... if you are
really fortunate, you might happen upon Sra. Ruth taking a break to sketch a bit of local scenery that catches
her eye.
Meet Sister Janet:
If you
are a little nervous about where you are going to stay or what you
should do in your home-away-from-home during the Guadalajara Service
Learning Project, your worries will melt away the minute you meet
Sister Janet at the airport. While the NDNU Guadalajara Service Project
team is planning strategies on the three required Saturday planning
dates at NDNU, Sister Janet is coordinating just the right families for each visitor in the NDNU Team to
stay with, planning possible outings, finalizing the building where we
will work with the children, sharing pictures, and telling the
community all about us. Sister Janet is a fabulous liaison between our
NDNU Project and the Guadalajara community.
