"My work with CESL has fundamentally altered the way in which I conceptualize my role in movements for social change. CSP has helped me to realize that my passions lie in the realms of environmental justice advocacy, climate policy, and other social change work."
CESL Program: Community Scholars Program
Major: Economics
I chose to join CESL because I wanted to learn more about social change in both academic and practical settings. I especially liked the idea of working with community partners and becoming a more active, civically engaged member of the broader Amherst community.
My favorite part about being involved with CESL is definitely the relationships it fosters. From my experiences so far in CSP, I’ve come to deeply appreciate Deborah and her uniquely effective pedagogy, my peers, and all the Amherst community members I’ve met through my volunteer work.
