As a first-year student from Orlando, Florida, Elizabeth Barahona, T '18, found a supportive and faithful community at Duke Chapel. During her time at Duke, she has grown as a community organizer by teaching a student-led Chapel house course on the ethics of mission trips, and also taking a leadership role in the Duke's Latinx student association Mi Gente. Studying history, Latino studies, and human rights, Elizabeth aims to continue strengthening her communities after she graduates by advocating for immigrants.
