How have you benefited from the Gannon Scholars program?

With two years at Loyola under my belt, I can confidently say the Gannon Scholars program has been a crucial part of my college career thus far. This program has immensely developed my knowledge of gender equity and other various social justice initiatives. Gannon has assisted me in better educating my peers on these topics as well. This program has guided me through my college experience by ensuring I am on the right path and assisting me in initiating tactical social change in the areas for which I am most passionate!

What are you interested in researching?

Alongside Dr. Chris Yim, I will be researching Corporate Social Advocacy (CSA). CSA can be defined as a corporation voicing an explicit opinion on a socio-political issue. Specifically, I am researching the effects of CSA on younger audiences’ consumer buying behavior, such as Generation Z.
