Leslie Rios ’20,��Political Science major
Rios arrived at ���ϲʿ�’s interested in politics and pursued a range of classes to find the ones that inspired her, including Comparative Politics, The American Court System and Political Theory. She didn’t want to miss a thing, so she immediately joined an array of student organizations, including student government and the Latino Student Leaders Organization. She worked on a major research project on border policy with one of her professors. Rios interned for the Office of the Attorney General and the Texas House of Representatives. As part of a recent Service Break Experience to Peru, she ditched technology and spent time reflecting on her years at ���ϲʿ�’s and where she wants to go next.

Joseph Ramirez ’19,��Biology major
Ramirez came to ���ϲʿ�’s intending to go to med school — but quickly realized he wanted to pursue something with business. Through the School of Natural Sciences, Ramirez��started working at Capital Factory, an Austin-based accelerator for tech startups. He also completed biomedical research with one of his professors. He says he learned that the approach of asking��Why are we doing it this way? Why are we using this material?��applies just as much to data analytics as it does to science. In addition, Ramirez�� interned for the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce and Cortez.
