GM Student Corps Inspire Communities and Themselves

DETROIT, August 15, 2013 /3BL Media/ – General Motors executives, University of Detroit Mercy administrators and GM Student Corps members today gathered at UDM’s McNichols campus to celebrate the conclusion of the GM Student Corps internship program.

该计划于5月推出，为108个底特律地区的高中学生提供了回馈社区的机会，共同研究了他们计划和执行自己的社区服务项目。188bet网址怎么打不开来自UDM的60名GM退休人员和11个GM学生实习生指导了高中生，他们参加了11名United Way Network of Excellence Schools。

The GM Student Corps tackled community park cleanup, park and athletic field restoration, building repairs and painting among other projects, learning teamwork, leadership skills and developing a deeper connection to their communities and each other along the way.

通用汽车执行副总裁兼北美总统马克·鲁斯（Mark Reuss）说：“该计划是向我们社区中的年轻人展示年轻人的一种绝妙方式188bet网址怎么打不开。”“这也是我们如何共同努力改善社区并改善生活的一个了不起的例子。”

UDM经济学教授和前通用汽车执行官Mike DiGiovanni带领退休人员导师，穿越城市并观看学生的进步。

“转变真是太神奇了，” Digiovanni说。“学生们做得很好，随着人们的身份发展，比他们想象的要多。他们的启发是他们的成就以及要做的纪律和坚韧。反过来，社区受到他们及其工作的启发。退休人员对学生印象深刻，并于今年夏天与他们建立了密切联系。”

So far, students have refurbished eight Detroit-area parks, planted 425 trees, shrubs and flowers, laid 392 yards of mulch, applied 223 gallons of paint, disposed of 205 bags and 29 Dumpsters of plant overgrowth and refuse, distributed 30,000 pounds of food via local hunger organizations and more. The last work day of the nine-week internship is Aug. 22.

对于许多高中生而言，通用汽车实习是他们的第一份付款工作。综合计划还为学生提供了有关生活技能主题的会议，例如决策，沟通，职业发展，预算和银行业务以及健康与安全。

Students also learned about various career paths during tours of Focus: HOPE, Junior Achievement, GM Design, the GM Heritage Center, the GM Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant and the University of Detroit Mercy. The students spent Thursday at the UDM campus, where they spoke to professors and administrators about educational and career opportunities.

UDM传播研究教授Jason Roche和四位UDM学生摄影师也曾担任GM Summer Interns，记载了团队在60分钟的纪录片中的经历；第一个剪辑在8月15日的活动中首次亮相。下周，学生团队将正式向Reuss及其员工介绍他们的计划和结果。

Additionally, more than 120 GM employees joined students at various project sites to lend a helping hand throughout the summer.

The GM Student Corps included students from Central Collegiate Academy, Detroit Public Schools Cody Campus, East Detroit High School, Hamtramck High School, Harper Woods High School, Henry Ford High School, Madison High School, Melvindale High School, Detroit Public Schools Osborn Campus, River Rouge High School and Van Dyke Lincoln High School.

这些学校根据领导潜力，整体精力，热情和毅力，学校活动，公民身份和学习成绩选择了参与者。
