| Jojo Azevedo - RAPP Facilitator, Communication Intern |
RAPP XXIV, RAPP XXVI Peer Leader, Social Justice League 2010-11
My name is Jojo Azevedo. I am a fourth
year student, studying communication. I am also an Aries who enjoys long walks
down Calhoun Street, usually stopping for frozen yogurt. My RAPP commitment
began as a member of RAPP XXIV. I continued my involvement the following year,
attending RAPPORT meetings and working as Enrollment Facilitator. I then became
a peer leader for RAPP XXVI. My overall experience with RAPP has given me so
much, but most importantly, RAPP has challenged me to attain more insight into
how myself and others perceive the world. This knowledge has endless
possibilities. Now as a facilitator for RAPP XXVII, I hope to improve as a
leader and better allow others to gain their own awareness.

Ally for the 2011-2012 schoolyear.

| Matthew Woodruff - RAPP Peer Leader |
Matthew Woodruff - RAPP XXVII Tuesday Peer LeaderRAPP XXVI
Greetings to my
fellow RAPPers. My name is Matt Woodruff and I will be one of your peer leaders
for the RAPP XXVII Tuesday group. I am a second year student at UC studying
Arabic as well as international human rights. My current ambition in life is to
work for a non-governmental organization in southwest Asia or northern Africa
that deals with human rights violations. As a freshman last year I feel that
RAPP introduced me to a great group of people on and off campus and helped to
further my knowledge on topics that I had only delved into previously on the
surface. I am returning this year to RAPP in hopes to expand my knowledge even
further on these issues, better understand how to serve as an advocate for
underserved peoples, and connect with other individuals and gain insights into
how they perceive the world and its issues. I am quick witted when it comes to
humor, however my serious statements are a lot more thought out. I look forward
to sharing laughs and serious conversations and hopefully benefiting your RAPP
experience.
