SSLA, as an institution, does not incentivize brilliance with awards, but rather with recognition and self-actualisation; and when awards, individual or collective, are a consequence of that, SSLA beams with pride. These displays of talent are encouraged and cultivated in the space through an elaborate process of exposure, engagement and learning. For us, empowerment does not simply exist as a theoretical motto - it is the foundational basis of our pedagogy.
These prodigious personalities who represent the larger missions of the college, are so many in number, that we must enlist and applaud them in such pages. Their effort and achievement surely transcends any such representation and the campus echoes their legacies proudly.
These distinguished names belong, and proudly so, in a long upheld tradition of "standing out" that encompasses every student of the college. Presenting to you, the victorious icons of SSLA.

Sruthi Venkatraman, a student of SSLA, recently started working as a Field Fellow for the Suraj Patel Congressional Campaign for District 12 of New York. A businessman and ethics professor at NYU, Suraj Patel is one of the four candidates vying for the congressional seat of NY-12. Working on the ground for his campaign has allowed Shruthi the opportunity to learn from the best on reaching out and engaging with voters.
From phone banking and texting, to data entry and social media, she is learning what it means to be part of a grassroots campaign, where every vote counts.
