World travels inspire work in local community

Laura Waitt (13C) is the ultimate people person, so it should come as no surprise that Berry provided the perfect college fit. 

“Berry is an extrovert’s paradise,” she praised of a campus community that thrives on meaningful interactions between faculty, staff and students. 

Never one to stay inside her comfort zone, Laura jumped at the chance to enhance her Berry education through a study-abroad opportunity in Cordoba, Argentina, where the Spanish major sharpened her bilingual skills, forged lifelong connections and found inspiration for a career working with college-aged Latino students.

Since graduation, she has served as a missionary in Peru and is now working on behalf of the Latino community as a Bilingual Prevention Educator with the Sexual Assault Center of Northwest Georgia.
