A student, KARE-11 news anchor, and 2014 Nicaragua trip participant, Pierce welcomed Juan Carlos Lopez, program coordinator for the Center for Global Education and Experience in Nicaragua, and a longtime trip facilitator. The event raised more than $1,000 to benefit NIca HOPE, a nonprofit, based in Managua, that works with communities in Managua to offer long-term solutions to entrenched poverty through education and practical skills training. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/02\/16215742810_b17a955129_z.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-45664 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/02\/16215742810_b17a955129_z.jpg\" alt=\"16215742810_b17a955129_z\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/02\/16215742810_b17a955129_z.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/02\/16215742810_b17a955129_z-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/02\/15780677044_cfb9acc051_z.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-45663\" src=\"http:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/02\/15780677044_cfb9acc051_z.jpg\" alt=\"15780677044_cfb9acc051_z\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/02\/15780677044_cfb9acc051_z.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/02\/15780677044_cfb9acc051_z-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Jan. 22, Diana Pierce MAL &#8217;15\u00a0 hosted alumni and current students of the Master of Arts in Leadership and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":212,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,11],"tags":[188,190,150,191,189,192],"class_list":["post-45662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community-connections","category-events","tag-diana-pierce","tag-juan-carlos-lopez","tag-mal","tag-nica-hope","tag-nicaragua","tag-pa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/212"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45662"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45662\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45667,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45662\/revisions\/45667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.augsburg.edu\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
