Rebecca Jolius is a junior in the School of Arts and Sciences Honors College. She plans on majoring in Political Science and History and minoring in Spanish. Rebecca is currently working with the Institute of Global Racial Justice to help create the Institute’s first Racial Justice Summit. Previously, she was a Changemaking Mentor in the Honors College as well as an Assistant at the Paul Robeson Cultural Center, fostering relationships and coordinating events in both communities. During the upcoming school year, she will be a Resident Assistant in the Honors College, hoping to create safe spaces and provide comfort and resources for freshmen navigating the community. Rebecca plans on researching racial politics for her various research projects and eventual thesis, and through the Gardner Fellowship, develop those interests from a blend of social media, current politics, and representation into a more cohesive idea. Next summer, she wants to try something new with a banking internship, and potentially turn that into a career. In her free time, Rebecca loves to watch new shows, documentaries on Youtube, and new restaurants in New Brunswick.
