About

Saysha Gonzalez is a senior at Rutgers-New Brunswick, pursuing her degree in Political Science with a concentration in Environmental Studies. At the start of her academic career, she was involved in the Legal Professions Learning Community at Rutgers-Newark and an active member of Jumpstart, a national education organization. 

She later transferred to Rutgers-NB, where her passion for environmental law, policy, and racial justice grew.

As a result, she was selected to be part of the inaugural cohort of the Fellows in Racial Justice Learning Community (RAJU). Through RAJU, she completed a social action project that addressed social and political issues found within communities of color through the form of a podcast.
