Georgetown
University Dance Company - Leadership
Through the Arts: Lombardi Moves
Every Monday for the past 8 weeks, one
of the patients at the Lombardi Comprehensive
Cancer Center arrives for her dance lesson.
Her doctor would say she was coming for
her chemotherapy treatment and that is
true. Nevertheless, ever since dance instructor,
Francesca Jandasek, invited her to participate
in the stretch movement classes adapted
for cancer patients with music and just
a hint of improvisation, Mondays are days
she looks forward to. -Nancy

The
Lena Landegger Community
Service Awards
By Lynne Hirschfeld
For
over ten years, the
Division of Student
Affairs at Georgetown
has been fortunate to
be able to offer the
Lena Landegger Service
Awards to deserving
undergraduates. This
award, established in
the memory of the late
Lena Landegger by the
Landegger Charitable
Foundation, honors students
who have made distinguished
contributions to community
service. The Landegger
Award recognizes that
the values of “men
and women in service
to others” and
“education of
the whole person,”
that are so distinctive
to the mission at Georgetown,
are made visible through
the voluntary service
contributions of its
students. And while
there are literally
hundreds of students
involved in outreach
efforts of this kind,
there are also some
who truly excel in the
scope and seriousness
of their undertakings.
Each
year twenty students
are chosen from a large
pool of candidates to
receive an award of
$2,500 each in recognition
of their considerable
contributions to community
service projects. While
community service is
the focus of the award,
each student must also
show academic accomplishment
and be in good standing
in the University. A
committee composed of
faculty, staff, students,
and alumni, from many
different University
departments, meets to
make the final choices
for the awards. The
students’ projects
range across all of
the many communities
of which Georgetown
University is a part,
including neighborhoods
throughout Washington
DC and extending at
times into foreign countries.
Whether through tutoring
and mentoring young
people, providing support
in shelters and medical
clinics, building low
income housing, or staffing
schools in third world
countries, these young
women and men are practicing
the values that define
Georgetown.
Applications
are currently being
reviewed by the Awards
Committee. The official
results of the selection
process will be announced
at the Lena Landegger
Service Awards Ceremony
by mid April 2005.
