When Nelly Ganesan walks down the street, “Nine hundred people say, ‘Hi,’” said her friend Maggie Young, a senior. One reason Ganesan, a senior graduat ing in econom ics with a mi nor in computer in formation technology, is so well known is because she’s been involved in so many student activities during her four years at the University. Ganesan worked for the Ambas sador Program for two years, and this year she supervised 24 other students. She was a peer adviser for economics, she served as an of ficer for Students of the Indian Subcontinent from 1999 to 2001, she’s been actively involved in In ternational Student Association events and culture nights and she’s worked in the ASUO. Ganesan was born and raised in Alaska, but she visits southern In dia, where her parents grew up, every few years. She was drawn to economics af ter studying in India for two years in seventh and eighth grades, she said. She’s most interested in eco nomic growth and development in Third World countries, especially after seeing the poverty firsthand, she said. “With the family background I have in India, there was a developed interest after visiting the country and seeing how the people lived, and then comparing that to what was taught in my classes,” she said. Thanks to Ganesan’s initiative — she was “a crazy job-seeker on the GANESAN PROFILES Internet” — she is headed to Wash ington, D.C., to be a research assis tant for the National Academy of Social Insurance, a nonprofit re search and education organization that supports Congress’ decisions about workers’ compensation, wel fare and Social Security. — Diane Huber for the Emerald Staying loyal to recycling efforts Even as a fourth-grader, Leona Kassel believed one person could help change the world. After learn ing in school about how ele phants were killed for their tusks, she launched a campaign from her house against the practice, hang ing a poster on her front door with fliers peo ple could take that said, “Don’t Buy Ivory.” College hasn’t changed her ideal ism. An Honors College student with a double major in environ mental studies and philosophy, Kassel, 22, just finished her 80-page thesis last week about humans’ re sponsibility to the environment. Kassel, who’s worked at Campus Recycling three of the four years since she was a freshman, said some people have told her that try ing to save the environment is fu tile, but she said she’d rather take action than give up. “If your options are to sit there and watch the environment get de stroyed or at least educate people and make facilities more accessi ble, I’d choose the latter,” she said. A program she began while working at CR is to educate fresh men about recycling by taking resi dent assistants on tours of campus recycling facilities so they can then take students in their residence halls on a similar tour. Kassel has also led a group of students in a successful effort to in corporate the Graduation Pledge of Social and Environmental Respon sibility into commencement activi ties this year. After she graduates this week, she plans to move to Hawaii, where she studied last year through the National Student Ex change program. She’s applied for the one open position in recycling facilities there, but she said if she doesn’t get it, “I’m going to create my own job.” — Kara Cogswell How ‘involved’ have you been? Fifth-year senior Rashida Haqq is getting ready to graduate next week with a bachelor’s degree in sociology, a job promotion waiting in the wings and only a sin gle regret for the half-decade she has stud ied at the University. Born in Chicago and raised in Port land, Haqq, 23, lived with her mom, her younger brother and her two younger sisters until she came to Eugene to study at the University. Haqq is a current member of Zeta Phi Beta sorority, the Black Student Union, Black Women of Achievement, and the Office of Multicultural Affairs. She has been a BWA treasurer and is currently Zeta Phi Beta’s president.
