Jasmine Infante, University of St. Thomas
My name is Jasmine Infante and I am a student at the University of St. Thomas majoring in communication and minoring in marketing. I wanted to give a huge thank you to the Holocaust Remembrance Association for the scholarship I have received. I was told about this scholarship by my advisor, Dr. Bornigia and I researched it after speaking with her. I never knew about this association until she introduced it to me and I hope to attend a live event next year. Even though the events were held online due to Covid-19, it was still an enlightening experience. I feel like I not only learned about the struggles that affect generations of people, but I learned more about myself in the process, too. This scholarship will help me financially to achieve my academic goals, but it will also help me achieve my future goals. I have always used my voice and my social media to help advocate for nonprofits fighting against human trafficking, such as Elijah Rising. This experience illuminated a passion within me to broaden the audience I advocate for.
