MEET THE CONTESTANTS

Hello everyone, my name is Dana Ahmed. I’m an LSJ major hoping to pursue honors this year and I’m also minoring in Arabic. I’m the Black Student Union President here at UW, I’ve spent a great deal of this year pursuing the BSU initiatives in order to create a better institution for Black Students on this campus. I’m also the adidas ambassador on campus and I was the recipient of the UW Mary Gates Leadership Scholarship this year. I also work for a non-profit organization where we recently lobbied for economic justice and criminal justice reform. After I graduate I hope to pursue Law and continue to fight and advocate for justice in every way that I can.
