That is exactly what happened for political science and public affairs senior Ava Foley, who is one of four students partaking in UT\u2019s first study abroad experience in Jordan. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before moving to the Nashville suburbs, Foley spent her early childhood in Brooklyn where her parents worked in the music industry and second chance education. There, she witnessed her united community launch successful sustained advocacy that showed her the power of organizing and of government to do good. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">She carried that core belief all the way to UT to pursue a career rooted in service. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cI have seen the impact the government can have on people, both good and bad, and I understand how powerful of a medium it is to help people and to improve the lived experiences of not only my community members, but people across the country,\u201d Foley said.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Foley watched her mother lead with compassion and the desire to make a positive impact, inspiring her to live her life altruistically by serving others. She learned exactly how she could turn her love for politics into a career when she got involved with advocacy in high school, eventually leading to government and public administration internships that would shape her political career thus far. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Foley knew she wanted to be a Haslam Leadership Scholar long before she applied. Her goal is to foster equality in justice, which could follow any number of careers, and the program\u2019s leadership curriculum met her need for an education that pushed beyond natural career pathways. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Haslam family, the University Honors team, university\u00a0leadership\u00a0and faculty welcomed Foley and her family with open arms when they arrived for Haslam Selection Weekend\u00a0the spring before her first year.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cThis school values me.
