A new face on campus willbe providing assistance tonumerous University of RioGrande/Rio Grande Commu-nity College students and arearesidents over the next twoyears. The new face is actual-ly a former student, as LisaJones has returned to RioGrande from Wales and isnow serving as the DavisIntern in the Madog Centerfor Welsh Studies.

Jones, who is from Aberys-twyth, Wales, previouslystudied at Rio Grande as anexchange student while shewas a student at the Univer-sity of Wales, Trinity SaintDavid. The Madog Centercoordinates the exchangeprogram each year, andsends Rio Grande students tostudy in Wales during the fallsemester. Students from theUniversity of Wales, TrinitySaint David then study atRio Grande during the springsemester. Jeanne Jones Jin-dra, director of the Madog

Center, knew Jones when shewas an exchange student andis excited to have her nowserving as the Davis Intern.

“She has a really outgoingand engaging personality,”Jindra said. “She’s also anoutstanding singer.”

Established by Evan andElizabeth Davis, the intern-ship program is designed tobring an intern who is fluent

in Welsh and English to RioGrande each year to assistwith numerous projects andactivities on campus and inthe community. As the DavisIntern, Jones will live andwork on campus, but will alsobe active in the community.

After finishing her time atRio Grande as an exchangestudent, Jones graduatedfrom college and was cur-rently working as a class-room assistant for the WelshSchool of London. She wasalso working as a live-innanny in London. Her expe-rience working with childrenand schools made her a strongcandidate for the intern posi-tion, Jindra said. As the DavisIntern, she will be working onprograms with local schools,and her past experience willbe very valuable.

Jones is already busy in theMadog Center and on cam-pus, and feels right at home.

“I feel like I never left,” shesaid. Jones added she hasbeen happy to see many of thepeople she knew at RioGrande as a student, and she islooking forward to meetingnew people on campus and inthe community.

In addition to working as theDavis Intern, Jones will alsobe studying in Rio Grande’sMaster of Education in Inte-grated Arts program duringher time on campus. Joneswill serve as the Davis Internfor the next two years whileshe completes the program.

“I believe in continuouslearning,” Jones said. She islearning a lot in the master’sdegree program already, andsaid the degree program willhelp her in career.

An outstanding vocalistand performer, Jones planson making a career workingin the arts. While at RioGrande, she is also hoping tosing and perform with musi-cal groups on campus and inthe community. Her mainrole at Rio Grande, though,will be to help with differentprograms and activities atthe Madog Center.
