CAMILLA MORA Hometown: San Francisco, CA College: College of Arts and Sciences Major: Political Science Describe one of your proudest accomplishments. My biggest accomplishment at Lehigh has been taking risks when it comes to what types of classes I’m in. At the beginning, I was very set on studying something in STEM. However, I decided to branch out and take more classes that are in the social sciences. I’ve found many classes that I enjoyed, such as political science, sociology, and environmental science. I’ve also branched out of my comfort zone by joining multiple clubs, such as the Latinx Student Alliance and the Gardening Club. Lehigh’s strategic plan, Inspiring the Future Makers, is built upon the notion that “The way forward is not yet defined. The future is ours for the making.” How do you intend to make your mark on campus and beyond? As of now I’m still undecided on a major, but I’m leaning towards political science. I came to college thinking of majoring in biology, but my adviser helped me come to the realization that the biology path is not well suited for me. I really enjoy writing and wasn’t sure as to what career path required strong writing skills since a lot of the students that I encounter are STEM majors. I’ve been doing some research, and as of now I’m very interested in going to law school and maybe majoring in political science. A message from Camilla: Being a recipient of this scholarship makes it possible for me to attend this university. It makes it possible for me to come study on the east coast, which was something that I really wanted to do at some point in my life, but I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to afford it. It also relieves stress from my family. Thank you. Fun Fact: I have a pretty extensive CD collection, some of which has been passed down from my dad.
