Louis Medvene, professor of psychology at WSU, shares his experience serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) in the 60s and how it contributed to his decision to become a psychologist. During his first graduate program, Medvene joined VISTA as a break from academic life. But his service helped inspire his interest in community psychology, leading him to his current vocation. Medvene's VISTA experience with an anti-poverty agency in Phoenix, Arizona, in the late 1960s provided him an opportunity to work with struggling youth, help with a community that needed change and develop lifelong friendships.
