Service Learning

1) 50 hours- Presentations on Avian Influenza, working in BSL1, organizing presentations, looking over lab reports.
2) Ellen Collisson: 909-469-5291
3) The most important thing I gained from my service learning is talking to my service learner, she provided a lot of insight and a lot information that helped my senior project and answer my EQ. Working for a while in the BSL1 helped me understand what equipment I would be using in the future when I start working in labs. I also experienced to see viral pathogens under an electron microscope.
4) This helped me answer my EQ, because I was able to come up with identifying the pathogen. I identified FIV, using an antigen and antibody test. This helped me understand that identification helps provide a very clear diagnosis.

Service Learning

• Where are you working for your service learning? I will be working in Western University in Pomona.
• Who is your contact? Ellen Collisson, Ph.D.Professor, at Western University.
• Summarize the services you have performed to complete the 10 hour requirement- So far I haven't done my 10 hours, because Ellen, just accepted me to do service learning with her, but in the future she wants me to prepare a 2 hour spanish presentation on a San Berdandino community about how to care for your chickens against Corona Avian Influenza. I would also be doing reading her manuscripts and helping her with lab work.
• How many hours have you worked?- So far none, but I talked to her for an hour, in her office.
