Bio:

Hey everyone, I’m Jhujhar! I am a part of a dual degree program where I am a Political Science Major at Vassar College and an Energy Engineering Major at Dartmouth College. I am from New Jersey, but also had the privilege to go to high school in New Delhi, so I am a part of the international community at Vassar. At Vassar I am the president of the Sikh Student Association. I work with the college as a Pratt Fellow to promote an inclusive community. I am a part of a game design club at Vassar. I have participated in student theatre productions in the past, and I am involved in intramural sports. I also work at the admissions office at Vassar. Additionally, I am a part of a men of color group for both of the schools I go to.

As a Dartmouth student I’m involved with several energy and sustainability efforts. I am in the Dartmouth Humanitarian Engineering club, which works to create solutions to problems in specific developing countries. I have worked as an intern in the U.S. Senate for Senator Cory Booker and Senator Robert Menendez. I have also worked for the International Rescue Committee, to help refugees in New Jersey find employment. My interests, evidently, are all over the place, so I would love to help anyone as an advisor find what they are passionate about. Most importantly, I love when Sikhs support one another as our identity is our true power.

I am a recent grad on the job hunt in the arts sector. As someone who recently graduated from a small liberal arts school, I would be more than happy to advise younger Sikh students considering or headed the same path.
