Inspired by her experience as an intern at JCUA, Audrey Hutnick created and managed a campaign to call attention to abandoned homes in Peoria, where she is a student at Bradley University.
Peoria, It’s our City, Let’s Make it Pretty
By Audrey Hutnick
JCUA Intern, summer of 2011
As I packed up the car and returned to Bradley University for my final year of college, last fall, I recalled the many experiences I had while interning at the Jewish Council on Urban affairs.
I remembered celebrating the signing of the Illinois DREAM Act, preparing for the Rabbi Robert J. Marx Social Justice Awards Dinner, and helping out at the film screening focused on the 2008 immigration raid of Agriprocessors, Inc. I knew that I would eventually be able to use these experiences and skills, but I had no idea I would put them to use as soon as I took a seat in my first class of the semester.
