Volunteer Highlight
My name is Tzu Hsiang (Sean) Lin, and I am an industrial design graduate student at Pratt Institute. Currently, my thesis focuses on the well-being of earthquake response teams. Growing up in earthquake-prone Taiwan is the primary reason and motivation for me to explore this topic.
I have vivid memories of seeing numerous reports and news about earthquakes in the Taiwanese media during my childhood. I am aware that the process of rescuing people and handling relief tasks is always challenging and difficult. However, what I didn't know is that, in addition to well-trained professionals such as firefighters, normal volunteers, and ordinary citizens can also be trained as first responders to help people.
Currently, I am interning at the World Cares Center, where I assist in organizing training tutorials. Simultaneously, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of how to assist and rescue people and the challenges faced by first responders during missions, which will contribute to the development of my thesis.
