Alumni Story: Emma Routhier '12

"After graduating, I taught 3rd grade at an all-girls charter elementary school in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn for two years through Teach for America. My African and African American Studies major continues to serve me as I strive to think critically about the implicit values and explicit practices of our educational institutions. I am now applying to graduate programs in Clinical Psychology, through which I hope to learn how to best support all children and their families within and beyond the structure of schools. I'm so grateful for my grounding in African-American Studies as I continue to try to be the best human that I can be in this world!"
