Sheridan McNamara ’17: Advocacy at State Capital

On Wednesday, February 15, Sheridan McNamara '17 traveled to the state capital in Hartford to give testimony before the Appropriations Committee opposing cuts to state financial aid. In collaboration with The Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges, she joined students from the University of Bridgeport and University of Hartford to emphasize the important role financial aid plays for students pursuing a college education. Sheridan’s perspective was unique as she also works as a work study in our Office of Financial Aid and was able to speak about her own and her peers experience.
