Scholar Spotlight: Evelyn Fraga

Waukegan High School, Class of 2009
Swarthmore College, Class of 2013

After only her first year at Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, Evy’s impact on the campus has been great. She and two of her peers founded the organization “Swatties for a DREAM,” which seeks to make higher education more accessible for lower-income high school students. Swarthmore even provided funding for the group to attend a rally in Washington, DC. Evy attended the Empowering Women of Color Conference at UC Berkeley during which she gained meaningful exposure to women’s issues faced around the world and in academia. She is a first-generation college student and the eldest of three siblings. Read more.
