 About Me |
My name is Akhila Kolisetty, and I am an undergraduate student at Northwestern University. I plan to double major in Economics and Political Science and graduate in 2010. I live in central New Jersey, but was born in India. Next year, I will be studying abroad in the London School of Economics, taking courses in International Economics, Politics, and Human Rights!
At Northwestern University, I have been highly involved with initiatives involving students and young people. In the past year, I was a Shift Leader on the leadership team of Campus Kitchens, a student-run non-profit which repackages and delivers food from on-campus locations to the underprivileged in nearby communities. As shift leader, I led about 10 volunteers in weekly shifts focusing on packaging the food. On the leadership team, I also assisted in planning events, publicizing the organization, and recruiting new members. I was also involved as Technology Chair of OASIS, another student group at Northwestern which encourages student involvement in volunteerism. I helped plan events such as our annual outreach day, and also maintained the website. Through these groups, I came to believe strongly in harnessing the power of young people and students, and became very interested in youth engagement. Now, I am a summer intern for GYAN, working as a UN Liaison and Communications Assistant, where I blog about meetings at the UN, compile our YouthLink Express Newsletter, and help in planning events and writing reports.
If you have any announcements relating to young people you'd like to include in our newsletter, please don't hesitate to contact me.
