AF alum and Wake Forest University student, Ciarra Velazquez, is making moves across the globe!

This summer, she studied environmental communication in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and explored debate and advocacy in London.

From climate action to cultural repatriation, Ciarra is showing what it means to be a global citizen and lifelong learner. We’re so proud!
