Haley is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and helps run Camp Kesem, which benefits children whose parents have cancer.

Why are you at the UO?

I have been an Oregonian for my entire life, and coming to U of O meant that I would be able to pursue higher education in the state I love so much. I am here because I love this campus and all of the opportunities it has granted me in the two short years I have been here.

How do you want to change the world?

Changing the world seems like such a daunting task, but I would have to say making education more accessible in parts of the world that lack the resources is something I would definitely like to see happen. I want education to be an unalienable right to everyone.

What has been the best part of your college experience?

Becoming a part of Camp Kesem — a student-run nonprofit organization providing a week of free summer camp to kids affected by a parent’s cancer – at the University of Oregon has by far been one of the most profound experiences in my life. Being a part of a group of motivated students determined to help children is an amazing feeling.
