After graduation, she would like to attend graduate school in the social sciences or Public Policy and possibly pursue a career in research. Jane has experience working with SPSS and has already identified a number of datasets that she would like to work with this summer: the Head Start Family and Child Survey (Faces) Series, the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) Policies Database, and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) 2004 Panel – just to name a few. Since 2010, Jane has served as a Resident Assistant and has worked as the Service and Justice Coordinator at her university. In 2011, she gained experience as a Camp Counselor at the Cascades Camp and Conference Center. Jane is also very active in her campus community where she plays various intramural sports and volunteers in a number of committees. In 2010, Jane worked as a Social Justice Intern at the Macdonald Center - an organization that serves the low-income population in downtown Portland. Jane’s most recent research project examined the relationship between self-concept and observer ratings. This summer she would like to focus on the question of how a person’s access to resources in their childhood influenced their later life outcomes – more specifically, research that examines inner-generational poverty. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.15pt;line-height:11.15pt;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Arial Black","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.15pt;line-height:11.15pt;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-family:"Arial Black","sans-serif"'>Jeffery Berg</span><br><b><i><span style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Carleton College, MN</span></i></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";position:relative;top:-.5pt;mso-text-raise:.5pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#262626'>Archive: Members Archive </span></b><b><span style='color:#262626'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='color:#595959'>Processing Mentor: Doctor Ashe<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeffery is a double major in Political Science/International Relations and Psychology/Cognitive Science graduating in 2014.
