SPIA student Kathleen Wilson is honored to be this week’s UGA Amazing Student. Wilson is a Foundation Fellow who has traveled the world and is now working in Washington, D.C., with the U.S. Department of State in preparation for her career advocating for the political, economic and social rights of women and girls worldwide. “My first semester at UGA, I took a Spanish class, an Arabic class, an international affairs class, an economics class and a chemistry class,” said Wilson. “Reflecting on the past 2 1/2 years I have spent at UGA, my experiences often seem like my freshman course load—a bit random and disjointed. Nonetheless, they have wonderfully blended together to form the cohesive narrative of who I am and what I’m passionate about.”
