’10 Graduate Featured in Huffington Post

by Betsy Chapman

“Pro Humanitate” (for humanity) is Wake Forest’s motto, and students take service to humanity very seriously. Wake Forest alumna Janelle Summerville (’10) is living out the University’s motto; she was featured in the Huffington Post this month for her charity work:

“Recent Wake Forest grad Janelle Summerville has a lot to celebrate. This year, she got accepted into University of Virginia’s five-year Masters Psychology program, she landed a beautiful rock on her left finger and will be married to a fellow Wake student this upcoming May and — oh — she raised close to $9,000 for starving Kenyan children.

Last winter Summerville headed the week-long Wake Up! events to raise money for Kenya Kids Can!, a program which provides meals for Kenyan children at just $2.50 per month. The events marked the culmination of her month-long, research intensive trip to Kenya the summer before last. There, she witnessed the implications of life in a country where more than half of the population resides beneath the poverty line.”  Read the full article at the Huffington Post online.
