“I am looking at working in the field of anti-racism education, including trauma work. Being a part of the Washington D.C. Human Rights Seminar opened my eyes to see the world in an exponentially larger way. It was life changing and life giving! One of the most impactful moments was being able to ask our state’s representative a question during a televised discussion around China. In addition to having that incredible moment for myself, standing up in front of the camera’s, my fellow classmates, journalists, and others, it created an opportunity for me to connect with the congressman afterwards. This has paved the way for my involvement with his office, and by extension my community, where I am now an active civic member.”\n <\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Double-major Emily Gilroy also received last year\u2019s scholarship. Her fields of study include Law, Economics, & Public Policy<\/a>, Society, Ethics, & Human Behavior<\/a>, and Human Rights<\/a> as a minor. Her passion for public policy centers around labor and environmental law. Gilroy was excited to have conversations with policy makers where she could discover new ways to advocate for both important subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n

“I believe that both of these issues are fundamental human rights issues. I have seen firsthand what sort of disadvantages that inequity creates, but at the same time I recognize the privileges that were afforded to me by my upbringing in an affluent, economically successful and well-educated region of a developed nation. My ultimate career goal is to use the skills I have acquired in the workforce as well as the knowledge and experiences I have accumulated from my time in college to do genuine good in the world. This is work I thoroughly enjoy and can see myself doing in the future, which is why I have decided to pursue a concurrent Masters of Public Administration and Masters of Arts in International Studies at both the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance and the Jackson School of International Studies at UW Seattle beginning next fall.”\n <\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
