ALTMAN SCHOLARS ’24
Connor Hogan Denver, Colorado
Intended Liberal Arts and Business Majors: International Relations and Legal Studies in Business Target Language: Spanish Email: chogan8@tulane.edu Academic Achievements: High Honor Roll; AP Scholar. Extra-curricular Activities: Captain of Mock Trial Team; Legislative Intern for a member of the Colorado House of Representatives; Intern for Colorado Attorney General Candidate; Intern with 18th Judicial District of Colorado; Member of Future Business Leaders of America Club. Community Service: I developed a digital, interactive map for the Denver Children’s Advocacy Center, an organization that provides services for children who are the victims of abuse, and trained staff members on how to use the program. This way of presenting data is used not only to show active service areas but also to demonstrate the extent of the work being done by the center to financial donors. I am particularly proud of this accomplishment as I have established lasting infrastructure that is critical to the mission of the center. International Experience: I have had the good fortune of being able to travel around the world with and without my family. While often drawn to these places by architecture and natural scenery, I often found that the most valuable lessons came during transit to those spots. Whether it was a cab driver, tour guide, or fellow traveler from another country, they were usually generous in providing their perspectives on not just America but world events. Additionally, I studied international relations at the Georgetown School of Continuing Studies for three weeks which confirmed my interest in pursuing IR as a major.
“Take it easy”
Personal Interests/Hobbies: I love doing outdoor recreational activities. I particularly enjoy skiing, hiking, kayaking, rafting, tubing, rock climbing, and scuba diving. Some of my most rewarding memories are from backpacking trips I took across Alaska and Morocco. Three Words to Describe Himself: Take it easy. Fun Fact from Connor: My grandfather, Mark Hogan, ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor of Colorado in 1970 as the Democratic nominee. I intend on finishing what he started.
