This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Kenyon chapter.

HCK gives you a chance to meet one of your senior DAs, Alex Britt, before she graduates!

Year: Senior
Hometown: Chatham, NJ
Major: Asian Studies/Religious Studies

HCK: What’s your favorite trip or vacation that you’ve ever taken?
AB: Although I loved visiting China, my favorite trip has to be seeing my grandparents in Toronto, Canada.

Why did you choose to become a DA?
I really care about people—a lot. Like most of us, growing up I was exposed to disturbing instances of discrimination— both directed at me and at others. When I heard that Kenyon had started the DA program, I knew I had to be a part of it.

What diversity-related issue are you most passionate about?
I particularly like to focus on socio-economic discrimination and ethnic/racial discrimination. It doesn’t matter where you were born, who you were born, or how much your family has, every person should have the opportunity to chase their dreams.

Ally Bruschi is a senior political science major at Kenyon College. She spent this past summer interning as a writer with both The Daily Meal, a digital media group  dedicated to "all things food and drink" and The Borgen Project, a non-profit organization that partners with U.S. policymakers to alleviate global poverty. Before entering the "real world" of jobs, however, Ally spent many summers as a counselor at an all-girls summer camp in Vermont, aka the most wonderful place on earth. A good book, a jar of peanut butter, a well-crafted Spotify playlist, and a lazy dog could get her through even the worst of days.
