Faith Privett meets with staff from offices of Rep. Peter Welch, Sen. Bernie Sanders
As a byproduct of her experience at Posters on the Hill, last week’s national research conference for college undergraduates, Norwich University junior Faith Privett met virtually with two aides from the offices of U.S. legislators representing Vermont, Rep. Peter Welch, a Democrat, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent.
Privett, a Class of 2022 political science and history major from Proctor, Minnesota, was the only Vermont college student among the 60 students who presented at Posters on the Hill, an annual event presented April 27 and April 28 by the Gaithersburg, Maryland-based Council on Undergraduate Research.

The Norwich University junior, who’s majoring in political science and history, had chosen Ruth Bader Ginsburg as one of three Supreme Court justices she’d like to independently research for her capstone senior seminar. She would examine voting records to see whether the justices’ votes matched those justices’ perceived ideology.
