Student Associates
Lorelle Adames '25
Hi! My name is Lorelle Adames (she/her) and I am from West Orange, New Jersey. I hope to major in English, and graduate with a certification to teach. Some of my other interests are film and graphic design! I work as a Social Media Community-Engaged Learning Assistant for the CPGC.
Erica Fenton '22
Erica is from Highland, Maryland and is pursuing a major in Sociology, minor in Psychology, and concentration in Peace, Justice, and Human Rights. Her past experiences with the CPGC include participating in the Pre-Customs Summer Social Justice Institute and completing a summer fellowship with College Together in 2021. She is currently working with the CPGC’s Eric Hartman to research the public benefit of higher education institutions in PA. Following her fellowship, Erica has been especially interested in education research, synthesizing this with her academic foci of sociology and psychology. Outside of academics, she has participated in Customs as a CP, played Varsity Basketball, and played cello in Haverford’s Orchestra. Now, she enjoys playing on the Club Soccer team, intramural basketball, and spending time with friends.
Fabi Martinez BMC '23
Fabi is an international student from Paraguay. She is double majoring in International Studies and Psychology at Bryn Mawr with a minor in Latin American, Iberian, and Latina/o Studies. Fabi was a CPGC fellow who interned as an Intercultural Promoter for Casa Refugiados in Mexico. Some of her tasks involved interviewing refugees who have settled in Mexico, as well as organizing and participating in workshops with her fellow students. Fabi is interested in working with unaccompanied children who are separated from their families at the borders by doing research and providing psychological support. During her free time, she likes to hang out with friends, binge-watch shows, and explore new places.
Michael McCarthy '24
Michael McCarthy is a second-year student at Haverford College returning from a gap year which he spent working, writing, and dodging COVID-19. He writes weekly articles for the CPGC as well as any number of creative pieces, including a poetry chapbook. The running joke in his family is that he was born an English major, and his course load reflects that diagnosis. When he's not writing for the CPGC, you can find him writing in the library, studying in the DC, or playing Irish fiddle on Founders Green.
Jorge Paz Reyes '24
I was born and raised in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and immigrated to New York City eight years ago. As a Honduran immigrant and a New Yorker, I dedicated much of my high school year in fighting the segregated NYC department of education and providing my high school multiple extracurricular opportunities. I was also a Model UN nerd and through my position as Secretary-General in my high school, I fought to get the same resources found in white affluent institutions for my predominantly black/Hispanic high school. I was involved with different community organizations such as Yaya Network, Integrate NYC, and PRYHLI focused on social justice and educational integration. In terms of academic interest, I most likely plan to major in Political Science but I'm still debating it as I have an undying passion for Biology. I also have an interest in Honduras' history and although it's pretty early to tell I will most likely dedicate my senior thesis to Honduras and its presence as a Banana Republic. I'm super excited to be part of the CPGC and I hope that I can continue to provide more equal opportunities to my community and create an equitable and safe space for everyone.
Maya Waller '25
Maya is from Rochester, New York and is leaning towards majoring in Sociology with a minor in Africana Studies. She will most likely concentrate in Peace Justice and Human Rights as well. She is still trying to figure out what clubs and organizations she wants to be involved in. In high school, Maya was engaged in racial justice and education justice work in her city. She loves to read, travel, and cook. Maya is very excited to be working at the Center for Peace and Global citizenship this year!
