Jessica Davis, winner of the William M. Plater Civic Engagement Medallion

Growing up, my family didn’t have a lot of money, and at times this was a significant challenge for us. Community service was at first a way for me to explore. My first alternative break was in Washington D.C. From there, service became a way for me to get involved and connect with my community.
