#PolicyProfile: Samantha McCann, Chief Operating Officer, Bridging Divides Initiative
I've always been interested in the intersection of policy and communications. In so many ways, media defines how we see the world. I became interested in looking at the role journalism plays in polarization and whether there is an opportunity for journalism to be a force for good, a force for humanizing one another, and…

#PolicyProfile: Meghann Kleespie, Administrative Coordinator, Office of the Dean
“At @PrincetonSPIA, we teach the future policymakers and change-makers in the world, and I love that I get to be a part of that. Our dean and executive vice dean advise students, and as their administrative coordinator, I’ve gotten to know some of those students over the years. It's so interesting to follow them in their…

#PolicyProfile: Shannon Presha, Graduate Programs Finance and Operations Manager
“Growing up, my best friend’s grandmother, Laura Wooten, worked at Princeton for a long time. I would often visit her in town, but I never thought that one day I might work here. Being on a college campus is just wonderful. I love to walk around the campus and look at the buildings. There’s nothing like a college campus; it's…

“From a young age, I had a strong sense of fairness. This drove me to study law at the University of Auckland. I saw this as a practical way to have an impact on justice and equity issues. I’ve always been fascinated by the world beyond Aotearoa, New Zealand, and different peoples and cultures. An internship with the New…

“When I was a kid, I had a front-row seat to see how many families who had someone with special needs ended up struggling and how the government often provided them with a lifeline and support in one way or another. It inspired me to go into public service, and I moved from Texas to Los Angeles to study at USC. From the moment…

“I'd never been in student government before Princeton, but Undergraduate Student Government has been a really defining part of my experience here. It's been a great chance to mentor younger students and empower them to be leaders. I served as sustainability chair for 2021 to be in this central role within the USG, where I…

“Ever since I picked up a newspaper for the first time, I was interested in reading the foreign affairs section or the world section, and that made me start to think about issues globally. My interest in international politics and human rights gradually grew during my freshman year at SPIA when I took a class on these issues,…

“I was in high school in South Florida when I first became involved in political advocacy, specifically after Proposition 8 was passed in California. I came out when I was 15, right as the debate around marriage equality was gaining national attention, and I became inspired to host an anti-discrimination event at my high school…

“My father was the first literate person in the family, and when I went to college in Delhi, that was still uncommon in our family at that time. My grandparents migrated to India from Pakistan. They were landless laborers, tending somebody else's fields and struggling for their meals every day. But they understood that…
