AISHA TOURÉ Hometown: Willingboro, NJ College: College of Arts & Sciences Major: Political Science What aspirations do you have for your Lehigh career and beyond? How has Lehigh impacted and/or reinforced those aspirations? Postgraduation, I have my mind set on attending law school. Past that, while I know that I want to be a practicing attorney, what type has become less clear to me over time. I thought I wanted to be a district attorney, but I think I am orienting myself more towards youth advocacy for children with special needs in the foster care system. I am looking forward to my first public policy and mock trial courses at Lehigh. A message from Aisha: My mother was involved in a vehicular accident that left her with chronic pain for the past couple of years. This year, she was finally able to get corrective surgery to help her to walk, but because of that, she’s unable to go to work while she’s in recovery. This scholarship gives her one less thing to worry about while I’m away at school and lets her focus on getting better so she can get back to her life. Thank you. Honors and Involvement: Intern for Judge Maria McLaughlin, Dean’s List One thing on my Lehigh bucket list: Cheerleading at a Lehigh football game that we win!
