I first became passionate about Human Rights when living abroad in Switzerland. The Syrian Refugee Crisis had reached its peak, and I witnessed asylum-seekers enter our town and school communities. I have been involved with OAK since my Sophomore year at Colby, when I took Human Rights from a Global Perspective, a lecture series taught by the yearly OAK fellow. I was immediately impressed by the fellows, front-line humanitarians who work both in the field and to make political change. Ever since, I have sought to discuss, learn and share as much as I can from our amazing fellows.
