Many have completed study abroad experiences and found them instrumental in shaping their interests and passions. Most of the Park Scholar group service project coordinators come from the Class of 2010, and these students also demonstrate their own devotion to service individually, partnering with a wide range of organizations, from the Lehman Alternative Community School to Colleges Against Cancer. Having earned an average cumulative GPA of 3.9, this group of students clearly is successful at balancing their academics with their other commitments.
