Angel Cui is CCL’s College Outreach Intern this fall! She is pursuing a master’s in public administration at University of Southern California.

In one word: optimistic!

For Angel, climate change is undeniably one of the greatest challenges the world faces. With daily reminders, like extreme floods, severe weather, heat waves and dry spells, climate change is a defining issue of our time. Angel is a San Francisco native pursuing a master’s in public administration at the University of Southern California. Monitoring the ongoing impacts of climate change, and how policies and organizations are responding to these challenges, is a high priority. Angel hopes to leverage her expertise and previous experience to assist college chapters in advocating for climate change policies and provide resources for success.

This fall, Angel is working as CCL’s College Outreach Intern! Her responsibilities include reaching out to colleges about climate change opportunities and identifying opportunities for students to engage in climate action or apply for scholarships/fellowships. She will also be compiling short features like this one about CCL’s interns and fellows to share on the Higher Ed website and CCL platforms. In her free time, Angel enjoys gardening, finding new coffee shops, and traveling. Her favorite show is Bob’s Burgers and her favorite music artist is Bad Suns.

Angel is drawn to climate advocacy because it “creates inclusive policies that unite communities to address climate change.” With her help, we’re confident that the climate change policies of the future will be up to the enormous task of protecting our planet and everybody who calls it home.
