What does community mean?As a student at Drexel University pursuing a B.A. in Global Studies along with a French and Linguistics Minor, engaging not only in your own community but others has become such an integral part of my academic and professional career. Community-building and organizing has been something I have been involved in and further exploring these past few years. It has given me an opportunity to personally explore the transnational history and the interconnectedness of many social issues. Combining my on-the-ground work and my background within the nonprofit sectors, I have been equipped with the perfect balance of perspective. I enjoy learning, being curious, and building new ideas together.In my department at Drexel, we like to say, “Global is local and local is global” and my experiences have only solidified this motto.
