Your Stories: Ingrid Peura ’23 – Elementary/Middle Level Education
My proudest moment during my undergraduate career was hosting the revival A-T Benefit Concert as the President of the Education Organization. Thanks to the hard work of my cabinet, our club members, and the campus community, we were able to raise over $1,700 for the A-T Children’s Project, a non-profit working to find a cure for Ataxia Telangiectasia, a pediatric neurogenerative disease. I will never forget the excitement of that evening and the feeling of making such a monumental difference in the lives of deserving children.
