Congratulations to Samantha Walsh '17 on being chosen as a member of the 2020 Young Women Leadership Council! Read Sam's bio below:
Samantha Walsh is currently a student at Binghamton University. She is majoring in Political Science and Philosophy and will graduate in May 2020. Samantha is also in an accelerated Master of Public Administration degree program and will graduate in May 2021. Outside of the classroom, Samantha is involved in College Democrats, Residential Life, the Binghamton Student Ambassador Program, the Center for Civic Engagement, the Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development, and is the co-founder of the Adaptive Sports Club on campus. After noticing a lack of availability of accessible sports on campus, Samantha set out to create the Adaptive Sports Club. This club set out to teach both able-bodied and differently-abled students about the fun and exciting world of adaptive sports as well as guarantee equal access to sports activities to all students.
After Samantha completes her MPA, she plans to work in the public sector focusing on political activism and working with women in politics with the eventual plan of running for political office herself.
