Bringing It Home – The Saint Rose Blog

Author: Jacquelyn Richards

My name is Jacquelyn C. Richards and I graduated from The College of Saint Rose with a Bachelor’s in History and Political Science with a dual minor in English and Music in May 2014. While at Saint Rose, I was an ALANA Peer Leader/Mentor who helped incoming freshmen students achieve a successful academic experience in College. I also took time to work with the Undergraduate Admissions Office. In addition, I was an Executive Board Member for Pi Sigma Alpha-Political Science Society. I was also heavily involved with numerous community organizations and served as intern for the State Senate Democratic Conference, a volunteer hotline counselor for the Crime Victim and Sexual Violence Center, and volunteer for Whiskers, a local cat shelter. Currently, I am interning with Legal Services Corporation in Washington, D.C. In a year I will be pursuing a dual J.D./Master’s degree in Public Administration with an Administrative law concentration. I am not only excited to start my new internship but I am also excited to meet and learn from so many different people.
