Sonya P. Milonova
Seattle University

Sonya is a civil/environmental engineering major at Seattle University. She is the co-president of the SU chapter of Oxfam America and a dedicated member of the Engineers Without Borders club on campus. She also has an internship with the Natural Resources and Parks Division of King County and volunteers weekly at a soup kitchen. When she's not organizing or attending events on campus, she enjoys visiting her family in Oregon, running the streets of Seattle and reading books. This summer she's looking forward to a trip to Jamaica with Engineers Without Borders and a month-long internship on Appledore Island, Maine.

How can you describe a weekend of student leaders from across the U.S. with an intense passion to change the world? The Orientation was a phenomenal experience to meet and build connections that I'm sure will last a lifetime.
