ADENEIKI WILLIAMS

HOMETOWN:	Brooklyn, NY
HIGH SCHOOL:	Brooklyn Technical
MAJOR:	American Studies with a concentration in history
THESIS:	I plan to study the experiences of Jamaican immigrants to the United States in the 20th Century.
ACTIVITIES:	Ujamaa, Habitat for Humanity, Research Assistant for Dr. Melayne Price (spring 2008), and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
OUTSIDE WESLEYAN:	The summer following my freshman year I interned as a paralegal at Cleary, Steen, and Hamilton, LLP in New York City and the summer following my sophomore year I worked as a group leader at Oasis Children's Services summer day camp in Brooklyn, NY. In the fall of 2008, I studied abroad in Bolgona, Italy with the Wesleyan, Wellesley and Vassar College Program (ECCO) where I studied Italian language and culture.
AFTER WESLEYAN:	I plan on attending law school following graduation. I hope to use my law degree to engage in educational policy and child advocacy.
FAV WES EXPERIENCE:	It was the first heavy snowfall my freshman year and my friends and I were walking home from dinner at Mocon (a dining hall which closed in 2007). We were walking along the top of the hill, the night was clear and the snow topped hill looked so inviting so we decided to roll down the hill that night; laughing the entire time. This is still one of my most cherished experiences at Wes along with so many other late night study sessions and conversations.
