EP 1: Current Student and Merit Scholar Michael Ramos (T'26)
This episode focuses on Michael Ramos, a current sophomore at Duke University studying Public Policy and International Comparative Studies with a concentration in Latin America and the Caribbean. We talked about his educational trajectory to Duke. Michael takes us through his journey which starts in Los Angeles then to San Diego, the midwest, and finally down South to Duke. We discuss what it means to Michael to have “made it out” from his hometown and how attending Duke has opened his horizons. The conversation took some interesting turns to address topics like Latino identity, misconceptions about attending school in the South, and merit scholarships at Duke.
