RE Log Fall 2016

60 Ransom Everglades LOG FALL 2016 Class Notes Townsend told the student body. “We know access to good health is one of the biggest challenges in the world.” A 2013 graduate of Notre Dame with a master’s degree in global health, Kralievits spent a year in Zambia working for Catholic Relief Services. She noted that, while short trips to impoverished nations as part of human- itarian efforts may seem noble, they often accomplish little. She encouraged students to seek ventures founded on the four S’s – sufficient staff; necessary stuff; safe and sterile spaces; and strong systems. Just as important, she said, was having the right mindset. She urged students to hone a sense of cultural humility, recognizing that they would never be completely culturally competent. And she encouraged them to walk with people, rather than just provid- ing aid. “In a global health setting, we need to accompany those with whom we work,” she said.

Tatiana Suridis writes, “While still in my second semester of senior year at Columbia in 2015, I began working part-time as a gallery assistant at the David Zwirner Gallery in New York. After graduation, I began working full time, and within nine months of working full time, I was promoted to be the sales assistant to the senior partner, which is what I am cur- rently doing. While I work full time in the gallery’s sales department, I also am an artist that does photography. I currently live in Brooklyn, N.Y.” 2012 Eyvana Bengochea was profiled in the Columbia Spectator last spring.
