Chloe Young �22: A Global Legal Scholar & Difference Maker
From mentoring elementary school students to playing to experiencing pre-law internships that galvanized her interest in the law, Chloe Young ’22 hit the ground running at Whitman College—and hasn’t stopped since. Whitman gave her a close network of friends and mentors, as well as a lasting commitment to service that continues to guide her as she has pursued multiple master’s degrees in international law and now attends law school in Seattle.
�Whitman prepared me for life after college by sharpening my critical thinking, strengthening my persuasive writing and broadening my perspective through study abroad.
