This summer, Carrington Wash, C'2028, is interning with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) through the HBCU Southern Summer Institute for Worker Justice in partnership with Clark Atlanta University's W.E.B. Du Bois Southern Center for the Study of Public Policy. Through this immersive experience, Carrington is building skills in worker justice, community organizing, coalition building, and public policy advocacy while exploring how collective action and legislative engagement can create meaningful change. As an aspiring attorney and public servant, Carrington is using this opportunity to strengthen her commitment to advocating for underserved communities. She was also selected to receive the SEIU Merit Award in recognition of her academic achievement and dedication to community service. Congratulations, Carrington, on representing Spelman College with purpose and leadership. #SpelmanSummer
