A Note from the
CAS
C Staff:
|
Greetings CASC'ers,
What are the ways that you CASC?
This week we would like to highlight a CASC'er who serves on both our advisory and outreach board.
"CASC has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and interact with people who have different backgrounds and experiences than I do. CASC has helped me become a better communicator and team player and I am proud to be a part of the second largest minor at Michigan." -Hope Crystal
Hope Crystal, BBA '21 is an undergraduate sophomore studying business with a minor in Community Action and Social Change (CASC). As a Chicago suburbs native, Hope became very interested in social justice during her junior year of high school when she did a research paper on the non-academic spending of her public high school. Through this paper she realized how large of a divide there is between the funding of her high school and the Chicago Public Schools. She aspires to make a positive social impact and help the Chicago Public Schools through her business career. She was eager to join the CASC minor during the first semester of her freshman year and has taken an active role in the CASC minor. She is involved in Lean-In, Sigma Delta Tau sorority, and is part of both the CASC Outreach Board and the CASC Advisory Board. Please reach out to her if you have any CASC-related questions!
