Professors, faculty members, mentors, and friends always make me feel like we are a big family that is trying to learn from each other at Augsburg. The strong communication between me and the professors always push me to go the extra mile. Augsburg has opened my eyes to many opportunities such as internships and potential future jobs. Also connected me with mentors that helped me to understand the work environment and how to be more productive. After graduation, I plan to work for the government and start my own company.<\/p>\n

I am involved in Campus Ministry, Campus Kitchen, and admissions tour guide. I am also in Student Government, serving as Senior Class President and on the Environmental Action Committee.

I have become more open-minded and politically engaged. Augsburg has taught me how to be an informed, active citizen.<\/p>\n

Augsburg has definitely contributed to a more holistic understanding of the world around me and it\u2019s diverse population, all with different circumstances that shape their experiences in society. Understanding these differences is extremely valuable, especially considering my privilege.\u00a0I have a weekly service commitment at a club off campus that is very near and dear to my heart. Last year, I served on StepUP\u2019s Leadership Team and assisted in the coordination of a host of events for StepUP Students. I\u2019m an advocate for animals and work with SecondHand Hounds as a foster for animals who are waiting to be adopted.<\/p>\n

Getting into the Model United Nations program was my proudest academic achievement. Prior to it I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d actually like it but after getting accepted into it I decided to just give it a chance. I ended up loving it and learning so much about international politics. It inspired me to want to work with foreign policy post-graduation. Taking part in the debates and discussions surrounding global affairs taught me a lot and just travelling to New York City, that experience alone opened doors for me as I got to visit the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees headquarters. After graduation, I plan to travel for a year, learning the history of the world. When I come back however I\u2019d like to connect back with my supervisor from the International Institute of Minnesota and work there for a couple years, learning more about the way refugee services function on a national level. I hope to then move on to doing foreign policy work overseas regarding refugees. I\u2019d also at some point like to aid in the rebuilding of Somalia\u2019s infrastructure and hope to use my political and historical knowledge in doing so.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about Augsburg is the intimate class setting and the ability to immerse myself in various different environments. Augsburg has taught me to always be questioning and searching for the truth, and to understand when that might not be possible. After I graduate I plan on applying to dental school and work in a biology research lab.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about Augsburg is the general inclusivity, coming here has opened my eyes and vastly broadened my horizons. During the fall semester of my junior year, I was an intern at the Ranelagh Arts Centre in Dublin, Ireland. This year, I will be working with Bob Cowgill and Doug Green on a short story collection.<\/p>\n
