I used my AMS grant funds to take part in a short abroad program in Reykjavik, Iceland, sponsored by The GREEN Program.

Mackenzie has been involved with Haven, Pվ��Ƶ sexual violence resource center, since their first year and has largely shaped her academic path around this work, focusing their Women’s Studies senior project on responses to sexual violence on campus.
