Jacopo Demarinis, one of our Spanish minors and an intern for Immigration Services of Champaign-Urbana (ISCU) during the spring 2020 semester, received the Student Leadership Award, one of the C-U Immigration Forum Welcome Awards, at their awards ceremony and celebration held on Sept. 19. Jacopo was nominated based on his work in SPAN 232 “Spanish in the Community” during the spring 2020 semester. The course, which requires 28 hours of community service, is taught by our own Professor Ann Abbott.
