\n\tEverywhere she went, everything she did as a University of Washington Bothell student, Cecilee Fernandez learned more about herself, who she is and what she wants to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tFernandez worked as a study abroad peer adviser in the 足彩app哪个是正规的 Success Center and went to Oaxaca, Mexico, last year to observe political and social structures. At the time, teachers were protesting in this mostly poor and undeveloped state in southern Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tFernandez also conducted research with Charlie Collins, an assistant professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, to study racial and social injustice with local community organizers. Now in a leadership role herself, Fernandez is vice president of S.A.V.E. (Sexual Assault and Violence Education), the student organization that this winter won a grant of up to $5,000 from T-Mobile to develop information and victim support programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tAll these experiences established a sense of community that she says she never had before she transferred to UW Bothell \u2014 and it has helped her hone in \u201con what I want to do and who I am as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tHaving earned her degree in community psychology this winter, Fernandez says, she has set her future career goals. \u201cI want to be a mental health counselor,\u201c she says, adding that she plans to go to graduate school for a master\u2019s in clinical mental health counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\tAs for being named one of the University of Washington\u2019s Husky 100 this spring, she says her fellow honorees are her kind of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to get an award like this and be in a pool of such wonderful people. It\u2019s a good place to be in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
