Samantha Kyrkostas '07 SAMUEL HORNE ’17 As summer approaches, students consider what to do during their months away from Oberlin. For some, the prospect of an unpaid or low-paid internship is financially out of reach, but thanks to the generosity of the Class of 1965, that wasn’t the case for Sam Horne ’17 last summer. Sam went to work for Boulder Food Rescue, a nonprofit helping to create a more just and less wasteful food system. In less than three years, BFR redistributed more than 576,000 pounds of food to the hungry and homeless and to low-income families. While there, Sam worked to implement a bulk buying program for the elderly living in Boulder Public Housing and helped fundraise to ensure BFR would continue its mission of helping to create a more compassionate and sustainable world. Sam and other students are able to take advantage of life-changing internships and opportunities because of Oberlin alumni and their support. The Class of 1965, in honor of their 50th reunion and in memory of Dr. King’s speech at their commencement ceremony, established the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Internship (MLK) Fund to support high-quality internships. Each year, this gift from the Class of 1965 grants at least 10 students the opportunity to pursue professional, artistic, and socially beneficial goals that might otherwise not have been possible.
