Laura Trudelle – class of 2004, worked with a group of Notre Dame de Numur students to help the Spanish speaking cafeteria workers learn English. Many of these employees have difficulty finding the time to study. Laura came up with the idea and named the group “Puente”, which means “bridge” in English. The Puente group met every Wednesday for an hour or two in the cafeteria on campus, to make maximum use of the employees’ time. Laura and the other students created study lists of phrases, questions, and words, and they focused on two to three workers at a time to tailor English studies to students’ interests and needs. Laura transfered and is now a student at Westmont College in San Mateo, CA.
