Jocelyn Sabbagh graduated from the Honors College in 2007 with a major in Political Science. During her years as a student she won more than a dozen awards, including a recognition as Outstanding Senior at the Wilkes Honors College and Owl of the Year for the John D. MacArthur campus in Jupiter. Sabbagh was also a member of the Golden Key Honor Society and the Sigma Delta Phi Spanish Honor Society. While at the Honors College she met Guatemalan Nobel Peace Laureate, Rigoberta Menchu, served as interpreter for the “Sister Cities” signing ceremony for Jupiter and Jacaltenango, Guatemala, and provided interpreter services for the Guatemalan President Oscar Berger when he visited Jupiter.


Sabbagh notes that she “loves the chance she was given to mold [her] own experience and make the most of [her] education. It is very easy to get involved at the Honors College. The personalized attention you receive there is priceless.”
She presently is the Director of the El Sol Neighborhood Resource Center in Jupiter, FL where she coordinates all programs offered by the facility, such as a hiring center, courses in speaking English, reading Spanish, and mastering computer skills. She works closely with 63 partners (religious, international, private, and public institutions) and more than 120 volunteers.
