Over the summer, Mallory Ward left home expecting to impact the lives of Haitian orphans, but little did she know they would leave such an impression on her.

Ward spent a week working in the Holt Fontana Village, playing with the children and working around the grounds.

The office was covered in an array of drawings, paintings and sketches. Her desk was a little messy, but in an artistic way. Artist Laura Mongiovi, art professor at Flagler College, fiddled with some papers as she considered what it was that had led her to become an artist.

“It was something I always knew I wanted to do. It was curiosity about experiences, freedom with imagination and how things come about. Curiosity links directly to what I do today,” she said.

Mongiovi, originally from Tarpons Spring, Fla, relocated to University of Colorado Boulder for graduate school. After she made her way back to the sunny coast of Florida, she settled at Flagler College to balance both her teaching career and her artistic one.

On Sept. 29, the Flagler College Sports Management Club teamed up with the American Heart Association to raise awareness for heart disease by hosting a three mile long walk on the beach beginning at the St. Augustine Beach Pier.

This event hit very close to home for one Flagler College student by the name of Jamie Mart, who is a survivor of congenital heart disease, a condition she was born with.

When she was just 18 months old, Mart had her first open-heart surgery, which was a success until a year later when complications occurred.
