University of Washington, Seattle

There are some enormously talented professors at the University of Washington, with 43 elected to the National Academy of Sciences just this millennium.  I had professors from around the world while at the School of Law; one who had an especially important impact of me was Joel Nguigi, now of the Supreme Court of Kenya.
I chose the University of Washington over other schools because they care about fostering a diverse community made up with a majority from historically marginalized communities.  They helped us shape our voices there, together.
Though there are inherent problems with studying law in the United States, and the administration of the law school made some poor decisions that negatively impacted the student body, it still afforded me opportunities that may not have been available elsewhere.

I have strong desire to learn about events and how to run them, as a future student at Columbia I am taking a chance to pursue a passion of mine. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
