Hi everyone! My name is Jaela Alvarez, and I am from Las Vegas, NV. I am a senior here at 61传媒majoring in Environmental Policy with a minor in Legal Studies on the Pre-Law Track. I applied to 61传媒early decision since I knew from the moment I visited campus fall of my senior year of high school that this is where I belonged. 61传媒was one of two women’s colleges I applied to, but I knew that an environment that was centered on empowering marginalized identities would best help me achieve my goals. The 61传媒and 5C community is so unique from other colleges and universities. I get the best of both worlds by attending a small liberal arts college with resources for women of color while having the greater population of the Claremont Colleges to socially and academically expand into. Outside of the Admissions Office, a big passion of mine are two clubs that I am involved in. As an aspiring attorney and lover of the global affairs, joining the 4C Model United Nations team and the 61传媒Pre-Law Society was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my time here on campus. I have learned so much from my fellow 61传媒students and 5C peers. I have realized a lot about who I am and what I am capable of seeing as I am now President the of Model UN team and former Vice President of the Pre-Law Society which I am so proud of. Navigating college and finding out who you are can be very overwhelming and take a long time, but students here at 61传媒really make the journey worthwhile!
