Get to know OFSP students and alumni! We have
several students who are either national
fellowship winners or are Carolina and
McNair scholars who are documenting their
experiences while traveling abroad on
scholarship or while they are doing unique
activities on campus through student blogs.
Keep up-to-date on each of the OFSP
bloggers' many
adventures and learn what life is really
like! If you enjoy reading each student's
post, leave them a comment or ask them a
question about their experience.
SHANNON LOONEY
Shannon is a
junior at USC, majoring in French, biology,
medical humanities, and linguistics with a
pre-med focus. On campus, she has been
involved with the National Society of
Collegiate Scholars, Presbyterian Student
Association, and Amnesty International.
Inspired by her interest in service
and human rights, she is considering later
working as a doctor in the francophone
developing world. Thus, hoping to
finish the experience with a better-informed
and clearer point of view, she is spending
the academic year abroad, first in France,
to improve her language skills, and then in
Mali, to research and observe healthcare
there as well as to experience for the first
time the African rhythm of life.
