Erika Hartman is a junior from Oak View, CA double-majoring
in Psychology and Sociology, with a minor in Applied Psychology. Her mother
Dora graduated from UCSB with a degree in Communications as a returning student
in 2000.
Influenced by her mother’s experience at UCSB, Erika has
been able to balance, amazingly well, both her academics and community service. She
gives a lot of her time in caring for others. Not only is Erika an excellent
student, conducting research for 2 professors on campus and co-authoring a paper
that was presented at a convention this spring, but she is also a member of 5
honor societies, a leader in the Greek community, and a dedicated and caring
volunteer. As an on-call crisis worker at the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis
Center, Erika provides community awareness seminars and provides medical, legal,
and psychological support to clients. Erika says that working at the Rape
Crisis Center has changed her life.
In addition to the Rape Crisis Center,
Erika also devotes more than 20 hours out of her week to care for a man with
autism, and still manages to find time to volunteer for a number of other community
organizations.
Erika is described as not only bright and motivated, but also mature, professional
and friendly.

Chelsea Pearson is a sophomore from Ventura, CA majoring
in English with a minor in Spanish. Her grandmother Ilse Arndt Duran graduated
from UCSB with a degree in German in 1967.
Chelsea has demonstrated her commitment
to the excellence of UCSB and the community by maintaining an excellent academic
record and being actively involved in the UCSB Red Cross Club. In the Red
Cross Club she participates in various philanthropies such as AIDS awareness
and fundraising for measles vaccinations in Africa. She is especially involved
in a sub-committee called “the
breakfast club,” where students feed breakfast to the homeless in Isla
Vista on a weekly basis.
In addition to her work with the Red Cross Club, Chelsea
also acts as a conversation partner for a foreign exchange student.
Chelsea says
she is drawn to volunteer work, especially when it is on a one-on-one basis. She
hopes that by participating in volunteer work she will grow into a caring and
charitable adult.
