2017 Jul 24

Josh Sydenstricker is recognized for internship completion through the Washington Community Scholars' Center (WCSC).

Joshua Sydenstricker, a psychology major from Virginia Beach, is monitoring and assisting with group sessions at Samaritan Inns, a housing and recovery service that gives homeless or at-risk individuals who suffer from drug and alcohol addictions the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

At the heart of the WCSC program are professional internships in a variety of settings where students make positive contributions to the community and gain vocational direction. But students also get to experience city life, explore Washington's cultural and historic attractions, learn about issues such as gentrification, and manage a house budget and relationships in the communal living environment of the Nelson Good House.
