	Ashley Aguilera-Rico Finance & Business Economics Majors Area of Interest: Education "[Education] is the foundation for a lot of opportunities and if we don't fix the injustice there first, then it creates a lot more walls in our paths to overcome and to excel."
	Kaylee 'Kay' Boyd Psychology Major Chinese Minor Area of Interest: Equity in medical practice & medicinal access "Addressing equities in education-both medical and academic- is a vital step towards enabling POC youth to achieve whatever goals they have set for themselves."
	Taylor Griffith Pan-African Studies Major Social Change and Physics Minor Area of Interest: Racial Justice within the U.S. justice system "Instead of desperately trying to fix a broken justice system, we need to realize that it isn't broken. it was never meant to serve marginalized communities. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can dismantle a system that issues verdicts based on skin color rather than compassion, logic, and reason."

	Lorenzo Rowan Individualized & Pan-African Studies Major Area of Interest: Black Art & Activism "Social justice is intrinsically linked to the well-being of all people regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or political ideology. I see art, inspired and developed by social justice movements, as a visual reminder that a better world is possible and that I can help create it."
	Aubri Stevenson Public Health Major Area of Interest: Advancement of Black People "I am very much and most involved in the fight for the advancement of Black people in America."
