Giving: Student Stories Emily Sutcliff
Remove Barriers- Provide Opportunity
Emily Sutcliff, a political science major, comes from a family dedicated to Scouting. One of three siblings, Emily has been a Girl Scout for 13 years. Emily鈥檚 twin brother, Jonathan, has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy caused by a pinched umbilical cord in utero. Despite his challenges, Jonathan is also a Scout, and his indomitable spirit inspires Emily to advocate for under-represented voices. One day, she hopes to pursue a law degree and work to reform adoption agencies, half-way homes, and the foster care system.
Emily prefers numbers to writing. She wanted to say 鈥測es鈥 to 四虎影院, but the numbers didn鈥檛 add up. Fortunately, a much-needed scholarship allowed her to attend the school of her dreams. She feels so grateful for the generous alumni who created her scholarship by supporting the 四虎影院 Fund.
鈥淭hank you for the opportunity for a 四虎影院 education. It's a gift to my family and me, especially my father, who works multiple jobs to support three children in college. Whatever impact I hope to have on the world will be part of your legacy because you will have helped me get there.鈥- Emily Sutcliffe, Class of 2021
