Clarke, Olivia V. G.: - Hi, I Am Olivia V. G. Clarke a student, leader, and activist in diversity work. I serve as a leader on my school's Diversity Executive Board, plan diversity conferences and lead student-run faculty development activities. I'm a proud member of the 2019 & 2020 Black Girls Lead Class created by Black Girls Rock founder Beverly Bond. Additionally, I am a multi-year, full scholarship attendee of the Humanities and Cognitive Sciences Summer Institute at The Ohio State University. In 2018 I was selected to be a part of the Student Diversity Leadership Conference, a multicultural conference for high school student leaders in diversity. This summer I studied Korean as a 2020 Finalist of the NSLI-Y Summer Intensive Program through the United States State Department and making college decisions as a QuestBridge Scholar. But hey, I'm still a regular 16 year-old senior who has to study for the ACT/SAT and clean my room. I like to hang out with my friends, dance, binge watch K-Dramas, eat potatoes and listen to all kinds of music. And ducks. I love ducks.
