Big Sisters

One of our students, a senior psychology major who is on an athletic scholarship here (and has a 3.6 gpa) has been involved with Big Sisters since she arrived at La Salle. She's been a "buddy" to a student at a nearly elementary school since her freshman year, and a writer with one of the Philly papers is interested in doing a story about her relationship with the "little sister" who's now in 5th grade. In an email between the two, the fifth grader wrote that she was lucky to have someone (her big sister) to care about her. This could appear in print in a few weeks if all goes well. One of the first things I have to do is get the proper OK from the fifth grader's parents, teachers, etc.
