Meet Cassy, our third 2022 Scholarship recipient! Cassy Coleman is a freshman at Brown University studying political science - Brown has an open curriculum which means there are no core or general requirements, so Cassy is still deciding between environmental science and economics. What Cassy enjoys most about Brown so far Brown: Cultural Organizations! This weekend Cassy went to a Latin dance performance!
Cassy has found that the most challenging part about college is finding time to balance academic studies and being social—especially as she’s taking the maximum amount of classes this semester.
Cassy loves fresh air, taking walks, and sushi. At Brown, she’s involved with the Sexual Health Awareness Group (SHAG), a sexual health organization at Brown, as well as Providence Tree Canopy Organization, which works to build up the tree canopy by planting trees in underserved neighborhoods.
If Cassy had to give the current RHHS class advice for applying to college, it would be: Don’t be afraid to be yourself! And in college, use the resources that your college has—whether it’s tutoring or you just need someone to talk to.
