October 3rd, Copley Formal Lounge. Stay tuned for details. If you are interested in becoming a R.U. Ready? peer facilitator please contact the Women's Center for more details.Senior Spotlight: Women and Men for Others
At Georgetown, students are challenged in the Jesuit tradition to engage in the world and become men and women in the service of others, especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community. Becky Kissel is a strong example of being a woman for others.
Becky is a senior in the School of Foreign Service, studying Culture and Politics with a focus on Gender and Development, specifically in the Middle East. Becky became a Women Advancing Gender Equity (WAGE) fellow in the spring semester of 2010 and since then has participated in a number of programs sponsored by the Women’s Center. She has been a facilitator for R. U. Ready? and this year will be making her theatrical debut in the Vagina Monologues. When not in the Women’s Center, Becky can typically be found in the Center for Social Justice, where she is a coordinator for the After School Kids Program (ASK), mentoring adjudicated youth in DC. In addition to WAGE and ASK, Becky is also actively involved in Beyond the Hilltop, Inc., a student-run non-profit focused on sustainable social entrepreneurship, and spent the spring semester of her junior year abroad in Amman, Jordan, immersing herself in Arabic language and culture. In the future, Becky hopes to return to Jordan to continue her studies of women’s economic empowerment in the Middle East. However, she is really excited to be joining the 2012 Teach for America Corps next year in Detroit, Michigan.
