Clark University
Class of 2017 - International Development Major from Montclair, NJ

"This past summer I interned with a literacy nonprofit called LitWorld. The experience inspired me to focus on the complexities of literacy, especially in relation to access, race, class, gender, or nationality. Now, I am writing a short book deconstructing how different identity facets and privileges affect one's relation to literacy in order to help guide how we as a society measure one's competency."

Jenna G.
Bowie State University

Just by entering another town or region allows us to be introduced to a variety of different people, ideas, and cultures."
