About me: Hi! My name is Emily Verceles, and I am a second year at UW Seattle double majoring in Political Science and Community, Environment, & Planning (CEP). I'm especially interested in the intersection of policy, planning, and social justice, and I plan to attend law school after graduation. Outside of my academic coursework, I am Vice President of Chi Delta Sigma, an AAPI interest sorority, as well as a member of Kappa Alpha Pi, a professional pre-law fraternity. I am also a mentor for Mentor Power for Success. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching sitcoms, spending time with friends, trying new restaurants, and exploring Seattle. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or are interested in political science, urban planning, pre-law, interdisciplinary honors, multicultural Greek Life, professional Greek Life, or any other UW related topic!
