Alumni Stories
Angelly Zepeda
“I began getting involved in many student groups and some pre-medical societies to better my academic and social life on campus. I am the co-publicist for Barnard Mujeres, which is a club that seeks to empower Latina women at Barnard through advocacy and community building! I get to manage the social media pages and send out newsletters to our club body, which has been very fun as I love art and design. I was also accepted onto the Chicane Caucus Personal Relations Board at Columbia.”

“I see how proud my parents are of me and for having the courage of leaving home to become a better version of myself. Seeing how hard my parents work only motivates me to continue striving for my goals...My family isn't able to help me as much as they would like due to their income. This scholarship gave me the opportunity to help with my college expenses.”
