Vanessa Chavez Jurado

College of Arts and Sciences

Vanessa Chavez Jurado will graduate this May with a degree in elementary education and an endorsement in English as a second language and a minor in leadership and public policy.

She served as the Vice President of Student Government, President of the Teacher Education Diversity Organization, and co-founder of First Forward, a student organization dedicated to supporting first generation college students.

Chavez Jurado participated in internship programs in Washington D.C. over the summer and fall of 2022, including the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute congressional internship program. She hopes to gain experience in the classroom and later return to D.C. to work in education policy.
