   As Vice President of Internal Outreach for the Sudreau Global Justice Institute Club at Pepperdine’s Seaver College, I serve as a bridge between the undergraduate campus and the Institute’s global legal advocacy work. The Sudreau Global Justice Institute partners with governments around the world to implement equitable legal systems, provides training to judges and attorneys, and advocates on behalf of those suffering injustice, particularly in areas like human trafficking, rule of law reform, and access to justice. In my role, I help expand awareness and engagement by building partnerships with student organizations and academic groups, managing communications with the Inter-Club Council for funding and merchandise, and leading outreach initiatives to mobilize students in support of global justice.
