Nina Liss-Schultz, Political Science, Class of 2013

Last summer, Liss-Schultz interned at NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon and was responsible for organizing tabling events at street fairs and other festivals around Portland during the summer. Liss-Schultz managed to obtain several thousand signatures in support of the motion for birth control to be covered by insurance providers in President Obama’s new health care plan. She says: “Working at NARAL was a fantastic experience, and one of the best things about working for activist organizations is being around like-minded people. Being in a work environment with people who are excited and dedicated about the same issues and ideas is extremely refreshing and motivating.”
