Additional Information

 Honors contract student"For the Contract (now Leadership) Challenge, I learned first-hand about dog adoption and dog treatment in America by volunteering over 70 hours at the Franklin County Dog Shelter. I was able to make a small but invaluable impact on the lives of many dogs and adopters in my community while continuing to cultivate a lifelong passion."

"My Legal Awareness project aims to increase international students’ legal knowledge and understanding of their rights while studying in the US. So far we published and translated 10 articles on a social media platform, attracting more than 300 reads per article. To date, we have helped five students understand their specific legal situations and connect them with the appropriate resources."
