While grabbing a snack from a UW Bothell vending machine, Jasmine Johnson ran into some friends who invited her to a meeting. \u201cI followed them into a classroom with students that were just like me.\u201d This was Jasmine\u2019s first introduction to the Black Student Union at UW Bothell. Eager to get involved, Jasmine says she quickly became a member. \u201cThis club has become a large part of who I am on this campus and has motivated me to make changes in myself and in my environment.\u201d In addition to pouring her time into her academics, Jasmine has also taken on increasing responsibility with the BSU, first as secretary and then vice president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Jasmine wasn\u2019t satisfied with simply changing her local environment. This summer, she took part in UW Bothell\u2019s two week study abroad<\/a> program in Bloemfontein, South Africa to participate in a Global Leadership Summit. \u201cJohannesburg was my first glimpse of South Africa,\u201d she explains. \u201cThe only remarkable difference was that the demographics had shifted. I was no longer a part of the minority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire experience fostered engagement in the communities and in learning opportunities with other participants. Jasmine and the UW Bothell group painted a community center as part of a Mandela Day Community Service Project. She says she learned about social justice, racial healing, reconciliation, and digital storytelling \u2013 all knowledge that she now uses to enrich the learning environment at UW Bothell. She also brought back something else, \u201cMy number of Facebook friends are around 50 people higher and countries deeper because of the connections I made on my trip and the memories I will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasmine is currently a junior at UW Bothell where she plans to study biology and pursue a career in physical therapy. \u201cUW Bothell is continuously helping me in reaching my goals,\u201d Johnson says. \u201cAll these experiences as an undergraduate have been developing the way I communicate and interact with people, along with bringing a strong sense of cross-cultural understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
