LAURA GOSS/Emerald Kay Olson speaks to listeners at an interfaith praver meeting in reaction to the Thurston shootings the Fir Room. Reaction: Counseling available ■ Lonunueo from Page l resurface, while others have been directly affected by the incident, Morel said. Some students who are doing in ternships have contacted the cen ter about how they can best deal with other students’ reactions. In addition to assisting students on a drop-in basis, the Counseling Center has provided outreach ser vices to different areas of campus where people have been impacted by the shooting, Morel said. On Fri day and Saturday, the center sent counselors to Thurston High School to assist in deeding with re actions to the event. The center will continue to offer ongoing drop-in services for those who have been affected by the shooting, Morel said. “Also, as the need develops, we will have counselors who will be available to lead discussions or provide opportunities for students to discuss how they’ve been im pacted," he added. “This may im pact people for a long time. ” In a broadcast statement, Univer sity President Dave Frohnmayer encouraged students and staff to take advantage of the available re sources on campus. “I know how difficult it has been for many of us to cope with this tragic incident,” he said. “Please know that campus resources are available to you also through the Employee Assistance Program and the Counseling Center. ” Saffer said she hopes students will take away from the tragedy the realization that prayer can help them heal. “I hope students and community members feel able to turn to God and look for answers in God.” Sixteen students win international awards The awards were given for volunteer work and leadership on campus and in the community By Amalie Young Higher Education Reporter The first time Amita Malakar walked into an International Student Association meeting, she was hand ed a job title—food chair. Since then, her resume has continued to grow, Malakar, now co-director of the International Student Association, and Carlos Maza, a senior business administration major from Mexico, were presented Outstanding Inter national Student Awards during Family Weekend on May 15-17. Fourteen other University stu dents also received International Student Awards for their leadership and volunteer work on campus and in the community. Students were recognized by the Friendship Foun dation for International Students and the Office of International Edu cation and Exchange. “International students are en couraged to get involved in develop ing new skills like communication and leadership,” Maza said. This year, Malakar, a Nepali who is double-majoring in journalism and Japanese, worked with the ISA and University administrators on behalf of students affected by the Asian eco nomic crisis and helped to secure scholarships, loans and tuition defer ments for those who were affected. Malakar is also a board member for the Multicultural Center and for the Associated Students Presidents Advisory Council. Maza is a resident assistant at Ri ley Hall, which houses many inter national students, and an interna tional peer assistant. He takes pride in fostering cultur al understanding and creating a “bridge” between students, he said. As a community member, Maza serves on the board of directors for FOOD for Lane County and has been involved in Holt International, an in ternational adoption service. Maza has worked at a number of Holt-run summer camps, called "cultural her itage camps," for adoptees, he said. At Riley Hall, Maza recently planned a safe-sex workshop and emphasized cultural sensitivity to the subject, which in many coun tries is considered taboo and is not discussed. “They felt more comfortable be cause of the community they’d cre ated,” he said. “For me, the fact that I’ve been able to share my culture and my enthusiasm and energy and have an impact on others lives, that’s the real award. ” Other winners of the awards are: Ana-Silvia Arauz-B, El Sal vador; Soo-Hyun Bak, Korea Marcelo Barros, Brazil; Vassilis Dalakas, Greece; Catur Dewi, In donesia; Luis Hernandez, Mexico; Siew Pan “Michael” Kong, Malaysia; Elin Mok, Hong Kong; Erica Pereira, Brazil; Ambrose Poh, Malaysia; Aruna Pradhan, Nepal; Ka;an Susilo.
