Abstract (Dublin Core)

An oral history with Sara Meadors, a sorority member of Sigma Kappa, at California State University, Chico. This interview was conducted for the Preserving Chico State Voices for Change Oral History Project for California State University, Chico. The purpose of this interview was to gather information regarding her time as a Chico State student during the 2010s. Sara is currently a second-year student at Chico State, working towards earning her bachelor’s in public health. Specifically, this interview details an event, Walk to End Alzheimer's, assisted by the sorority Sigma Kappa, as it is one of the main five philanthropies they support each year. This interview walks us through Sara Meadors past experiences that led her to pursue a career in public health. It introduces a significant walk done by her sorority that is put together to spread awareness of Alzheimer’s disease to the community. She tells us about her time setting up this event and why she chose to participate in this walk. The Walk to End Alzheimer's is an annual nationwide event to raise awareness and donations towards Alzheimer's care, support, and research. In Chico, the community gathers with Sigma Kappa in purple to support the cause. Friends and families come together to share meaningful speeches, enjoy music, explore fun booths, and celebrate with flowers in various colors, each symbolizing how Alzheimer's has impacted their lives.
