Looking to the Future
As Armstead and Wey mull how an SFS education can be put into action across the student body, both students have big plans for their personal futures.
“After Georgetown I hope to combine the things I’ve learned here and my outside experiences to assist me in a successful career in law and business administration,” Armstead says. “The dream job would be working in the music entertainment industry as a legal representative for artists while having my own entrepreneurial endeavors on the side.”
Wey also mentions law as a possible future path. “I really hope to go to law school to study some iteration of civil rights law (immigration, women’s rights, etc) and to work as a civil rights lawyer,” she says.
While they remain on the Hilltop, however, the student ambassadors want to open up pathways for future success for others. As work on diversity, equity and inclusion continues at SFS, Armstead urges the wider Georgetown community to acknowledge the efforts of Black students like himself.
He also encourages Black students to apply to SFS and get involved with diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the school.
“Although it is not a responsibility to educate others with your perspective, it is a great opportunity to foster change and a movement toward peace and equity,” he says. “If you are a Black student looking to apply to the SFS, you should keep in mind that your perspective in the community and classrooms can be of great value in eliciting growth.”
Wey has similar words of encouragement. “Please do it!” she says. “There is a community here to support you!”
