Maira Vargas ’22


Sociology & Education double major

After graduating, I took a two-week trip to visit family back home in Colombia. I had a great time seeing family, eating everything, and reacquainting myself with el lugar que me vio nacer. I can’t wait to go back!

Not long after I got back to the states, I started my Fellowship at DonorsChoose, where I’ll be for the next year. The fellowship is divided into two rotations and for the first six months, I’ll be working as the Equity & Experience Fellow. So far, I’ve collaborated on projects concerning our diversity, equity, and inclusion work and creating our hybrid workplace. Stay tuned for what I’ll be doing in the next rotation!

Besides work, post-grad life has included figuring out a work-life balance, finally actually trying to get my license, and lots of baking.
