Political Science major Serenity De Leon has recently been selected to serve as a Texas Civic Ambassador by the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life.
The TCA program is designed to cultivate greater civic participation among youth. Texas Civic Ambassadors participate in this year-long program, leading an educational outreach project on their respective campuses. The projects are designed to meet a community need through civic engagement and participation. In her role as a Texas Civic Ambassador, Ms. De Leon plans to lead a conference to connect, engage, and empower women who have an interest in running for office and serving as public administrators. The conference will feature a panel with local and state elected officials and public administration representatives. The conference will connect students with these representatives through a networking session.
A senior, Ms. De Leon currently serves as a representative of the Honor Code Council and the inaugural Texas State Stelos Scholars program. In addition, she leads as the President of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Vice President of Supporting Women in Political Science (SWIPS), and as a Student Fellow for the Beto campaign. Additionally, Ms. De Leon served for two years as a senator for Texas State University. Finally, she volunteers as Texas Central Regional Marketing Coordinator and Challenge Master for Destination Imagination, a global educational non-profit dedicated to inspiring the next generation of innovators, leaders, and creative problem solvers.
