Rosen with her civic leadership award<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Isabeau Rosen lives by this Australian Rover Scout prayer. Both of her parents are scouts, and they instilled these values in her starting at an early age. \u201cA big part of the scouting culture is the sentiment that the only thing that is yours is your honor,\u201d Rosen said. \u201cAnd that means putting service above all else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosen has certainly done that during her time at UW Bothell, serving her fellow students as well as the greater community. As the service and civic engagement coordinator of SJOxACT (Social Justice Organizers and Achieving Community Transformation), she has brought a number of projects to the campus and expanded community interest in various legislative initiatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recognition of all that Rosen has done during her time at the University, she has been named one of the 2022 Chancellor\u2019s Student Civic Leadership Award recipients. Each year, the University recognizes two student civic leaders. Sponsored by the Washington Campus Compact, the awards acknowledge students who address critical issues on campus and in their communities through service and social entrepreneurship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsabeau\u2019s values are ever-present in her contributions to our campus and to the community,\u201d said Dr. Kristin G. Esterberg, UW Bothell chancellor. \u201cShe has turned her commitment for civic engagement and service into opportunities to lead meaningful causes, and she has done an extraordinary job motivating others to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devin Phinazee, program manager of Student Engagement & Activities, nominated Rosen for the award and said, \u201cIsabeau has worked with local community leaders to promote service projects around the community and to connect UW Bothell with their local legislators. She has proposed several ideas to administration to further increase the campus community\u2019s civic engagement. She is extremely passionate and cares deeply about the work she is doing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dual citizen of the United States and Australia, Rosen became interested during middle school in how the two governments work, and by the time she was in high school, she was using that knowledge to advocate for others. In her sophomore year, for example, her school\u2019s drama department was at risk of losing funding that would mean cutting the number of shows they could produce in half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe drama department had given me so much. I’ve always had a deep love for the arts but as a student obsessed with AP scores and GPA boosts having a safe haven for me to be my true self was so rare. The drama department gave me that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to no <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The program was in place to support students \u2014 and consequently, she knew that their input mattered. She did extensive research on laws and government funding and wrote a speech that she delivered to the school board and more than 100 attendees. \u201cSadly, it didn\u2019t work but looking back, that\u2019s not what matters,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat matters is that hundreds of people heard what I had to say and that I owned my truth and stood up for myself and my classmates. It was also a good lesson to learn because in the world of activism, \u2018no\u2019 is a common response to your efforts.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, however, Rosen is not one who is deterred easily. She is now a sophomore at UW Bothell majoring in Media & Communication Studies and uses her position on the SJOxACT team to create events that educate students about pressing issues and empowers them to take action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fall 2021, for example, she used the University\u2019s connections to partner with the Washington Bus \u2014 a statewide movement-building organization that increases political access and participation for young people \u2014 to host a phone banking event on campus. \u201cWe made at least 60 calls that night, reaching out families, students, whoever we could to let people know they should vote,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was incredibly successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere wasn\u2019t a midterm or general election, so people weren\u2019t that invested in the outcomes,\u201d Rosen said. \u201cI wanted to help them realize that there were still a lot of important decisions being made, so I got our SJOxACT team to partner with Washington Bus to give students opportunities to learn more about what initiatives were on the ballot.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together we will <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Rosen

Getting people involved is perhaps what drives Rosen most. For the 2022 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, she led an initiative to volunteer at Threads and Treads, a clothing bank providing Northshore School District families with quality donated clothing for school-age youth, teens, young adults and parents at no cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe sorted clothes and had conversations about socioeconomic status and asked if anyone among us had used a service like Threads and Treads before, and some volunteers were surprised to learn that many students do,\u201d she said. \u201cHaving an event that incorporated conversation and action got to the heart of our mission as SJOs. Our mantra is that \u2018uninformed action is harmful and information without action doesn\u2019t accomplish much,\u2019 so being able to combine information and action was just great.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosen employed the same strategy during Alternative Spring Break, which she helped to organize. This year, it took place at 21 Acres, a center for sustainable agriculture education in Woodinville, Washington. \u201cThe volunteers did about three hours of farm work while learning about personal sustainability and how they could contribute to the sustainability movement,\u201d she said. \u201cMost of our volunteers were STEM majors, who said the event gave them a look into a world they\u2019d never paid attention to before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProviding a wide range of service opportunities is really important to the work I do.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When hard work pays off <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rosen\u2019s biggest event yet is the creation and implementation of the Legislative Fair that took place on May 16. \u201cIt was a celebration of all things democratic and legislative,\u201d Rosen said. \u201cWe had guests from the local community who work to directly create legislation as well as nonprofits that support democratic engagement.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rosen

With help from Mila Sherman, director of government relations for the Associated Students of UW Bothell, Rosen was able to get Rami Al-Kabra, the City of Bothell deputy mayor, and Jenne Alderks, Bothell councilmember, to participate in the event. Also participating were local nonprofit organizations including the Washington Student Association, League of Education Voters and League of Women\u2019s Voters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the topics the nonprofits covered was voter suppression,\u201d Rosen said. \u201cPreventing specific groups of people from voting is a major issue, and the goal was to make people aware of it, understand its history as well as what it\u2019s rooted in and what we can do to stop it. The other goal is to get people registered to vote so that come October it\u2019s not as hectic.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosen said she is proud of all that she invested into the event and that \u201cif just one person who wasn\u2019t planning on voting decides to vote or if one person realizes they have more power than they thought they did, then I will have done my job.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A life of service <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rosen was honored with the civic leadership award on April 15 at the Museum of Flight in Tukwila, Washington. Right before the ceremony, she and her father reflected on the scout prayer. \u201cIt really resonated,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s been my north star. I serve because it\u2019s what I do, because people deserve respect \u2014 and I want to live a life with my arms wide open, always extending a hand to those who need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is the heart of the prayer, and it is the heart of who I am.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while Rosen always serves, she doesn\u2019t always receive recognition. She said taking a moment to celebrate all that she has accomplished was a rare and fulfilling moment. \u201cIn this line of work, you are so focused on pushing forward that you don\u2019t stop to look back,\u201d she said. \u201cIt feels like I am rock climbing and getting this award was a ledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was able to stop climbing for just a little bit, look down and say \u2018wow, that is a lot of stuff down there,\u2019 and then continue climbing.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
