Jenna Borovinsky and Alexus Gian completed Fellowships focusing on issues of public health in Central New York
This summer, Jenna Borovinsky ‘22 and Alexus Gian ‘20 worked on public health projects in Upstate New York as a part of the Upstate Institute Summer Field School. Jenna worked with Pathfinder Village, a small village-like community for individuals with Down syndrome, while Alexus partnered with the Madison County Department of Health. While their experiences and community partners were quite different, they both appreciated the opportunity to have a positive impact on public health in the Central New York region. Below, they describe their experiences.
