We’re #GoucherProud of Shelby Meek ’25 for completing their internship with Baltimore Witness. This internship inspired Shelby to 'implement journalistic styles into assignments. If I want to become a journalist or a reporter, I must find ways to work on the skills I have developed at the internship.' Shelby also plans to check out the Goucher Prison Education Partnership - GPEP after discussing city-wide issues with previously incarcerated Baltimore residents.#GoucherCollege #StudentInternship

Gophers leave their mark, no matter where they go. We’re still celebrating our alumnae/i and the ways Goucher shaped their journey. This month’s Global Changemaker is Carol Pino ’14.' Since graduation, I completed a master’s in art history and have worked in the fine art world in New York City for about a decade. I found so many different communities at Goucher, and they all let me explore different passions. My degree from Goucher is a double major in Business Management and Art’s Management with a concentration in Art History, and all of my classes are applicable to what I do on a daily basis.'
