Andrew Shkreli, Hunter ’21, is the son of Albanian immigrants from the former Yugoslavia. At Hunter, he got a head-start on his dream career in public service, serving as co-president of the Queer Student Union, president of the Pre-Law Society and leading member of the Roosevelt House Student Advisory Board. After graduation, Andrew will start work as a New York City Urban Fellow.

How did he get here? He credits Hunter’s English department with supporting his intellectual development and current successes. The Queer Student Union served as a second home, and Roosevelt House's like-minded students enabled his learning. As a low-income student, he thanks Hunter's staff for making graduating without debt a reality. Andrew is grateful for his family, friends and mentors; without them, he would not be where he is.
