Kamelia Kilawan, “Does Kali Devotion Empower Urban Women in Hindu Diaspora?”
Kamelia Kilawan: research from the student’s perspective
Kamelia concentrated on Journalism and Religious Studies. Her research question began with her curiousity about the thread that binds the City’s ethnic communities and wanted to use her thesis to strengthen her research skills as a journalist. She won the CUNY Thomas Tam Prize, the Susan A. Locke Outstanding Honors Student Award, and attended Columbia’s graduate journalism program.
Stevie Borrello: Journalism thesis “The Modern-Day Migrant Worker: The Life of a Filipina Domestic Worker in New York City”
Stevie prepared an inspiring multimedia expose on the social, political, and migrant status of domestic workers in the U.S. told through the life of Nene Abellanosa, a Filipina domestic worker in NYC. He was awarded the Kanner Prize for Outstanding Baruch Honors Thesis and received mentorship from Professor Bridgett Davis, of Journalism and the Writing Professions.
