 Hi, my name is Katie Ida. I am a dual-degree student here at UVM. I'm getting a BA in English with a minor in political science and a BS in community and international development. Next year, I'm headed to the London School of Economics and Political Science for a Master's in Social Policy in Gender Policy and Inequality. When I came to UVM, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do, but I took some classes that inspired me to get passionate about a subject and had some faculty members that were passionate themselves about the subject and it led me to get really excited about women and development, which is what I am really excited to be studying next year in London.
