Making a Lasting Impact
Roddy Rosemond Denor is a graduating senior and majoring in political science and sociology with a minor in Africana Studies. His future plans include continuing to further his education with acquiring a master’s degree in sociology and working.
As an Africana Studies minor, his Haitian background, along with the gained knowledge concerning the diaspora, will benefit him in the work that he will pursue. Roddy is interested in poverty and inequality. He wants to help immigrants and low-income residents on improving their lives. Although he realizes that this will be a journey, he thinks this is how he can make a lasting impact in the lives of the have-nots.
Roddy thinks that as Martin Luther King said once: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘what are you doing for others?'” He thinks the best way to tackle this question is by changing the odds that are against one’s circumstances.
