What are some of your interests outside the Gannon Scholars program?
Outside of the Gannon Scholars, I am an Orientation Leader and a Peer Advisor for the UNIV 101 courses. After college, I hope to pursue law school, and in particular, human rights, immigration, or international law.
How have you benefited from the Gannon Scholars program?
I have met so many like-minded individuals whose passion for making the world around them a better place inspires me every day. Learning about the intersectionality of different social justice issues and their manifestations in daily life has opened my eyes to the interconnected nature of these issues, and has equipped me with the knowledge, resources, and community to tackle them.
Why is the mission of the Gannon Scholars important to you?
The mission of the Gannon Scholars is important to me because it represents the future of our world and the palpable and indispensable role that passionate leaders will play in fostering a more just world for all. The inclusivity of the mission allows scholars from all different areas of studies and interests to explore social justice issues and research ideas of their own, but ultimately come together to in pursuit of a better world for all.
