The Black Studies Program is pleased to announce Sidra Carman, from Silver Spring, Maryland, is the first Washington College student to earn a minor in Black Studies. Sidra graduated with a B.A. in History on May, 20, 2007. She will be interning at the National Low Income Housing Coalition this summer and plans to pursue a career with the government or in the non-profit sector in the Washington, D.C. area. Sidra believes her Black Studies minor will serve her well, especially in the non-profit sector where she is particularly interested in minority issues. Completing a minor in Black Studies, "shows that I like diversity and that I am interested in a variety of issues," Sidra says. Congratulations, Sidra!
