Alexandra Angelopoulos ‘22, a history major and political science minor, has been accepted into the 2021 NEW Leadership Summer Institute at Chatham University’s Pennsylvania Center for Women and Politics.
The NEW Leadership™ summer institute is an intensive, nonpartisan, five-day program where students meet with women leaders, learn about women in American politics, and develop and practice leadership skills through panel discussions, workshops and hands-on projects.
Angelopoulos applied to the program because she wants to experience the perspectives her peers bring to politics.
“I tend to look at politics through a historical lens, as I am aware that history doesn t exist in a void and that decisions made in politics in the past hundreds of years have very real effects on our current day problems,” Angelopoulos said. “I am very excited to see if other students share my views or have completely different ones that I haven t even considered yet
