FROM: Sonora, California
CO-OPS: Andres Castro Arms
MEMBER SINCE: Fall 2008
MAJOR: Public Health
Not unlike fellow coop-ers, Sam is motivated by a strong sense of social responsibility, along with inspiration in working alongside his peers. Sam plans to pursue a joint MD and Masters of Public Health, with the hope of doing work that addresses health inequities. His favorite part of living in the coops is the kitchen, where so many people, flavors, and industrial-size cookware mingle. Sam's weekly cooking ritual, madly improvising a meal for sixty, gives him great satisfaction. |

Sorren's passion lies in health and outreach. She has been involved in several organizations serving the community directly through advising, counseling, fundraising, empowerment, and health education. She is greatly interested in pediatric oncology, and wants to work towards a more holistic and community oriented form of treatment.
Sorren loves living in the co-ops because it creates an immediate sense of community, even considering the wide range of majors and interests. She has a particular fondness for Hoyt becuase of its fun atmosphere, cleanliness, and because no matter what time of day, she can go downstairs and there will be some kind of baked good on the table or in the making. |

Gabriela loves the co-ops because they provide a unique place for a dynamic, diverse and trans-formative college experience. She is thankful to have met the most amazing and wonderful people through co-ops and to have tried things she never believed she could, such as become involved in leadership positions and politics. |
