seeing Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Gerald W. Lynch
Theater was packed with excited students, faculty, and staff ready to
hear from the U.S. Representative from New York's 14th Congressional
District. "I'm so excited to see A.O.C. because, I see a lot of
myself in her, especially coming from a low-income background,"
said John Jay senior Lisa Cho '19. "Her ascent means that we are
open to diversifying fields that once were thought to be only for
white, elite men. Seeing her in this position is really
amazing." Read More

intersection of sexuality, crime and justice. "It's an award
specifically given to someone who starts advocacy work regarding

their Dreams
As part of their leadership development, a group of

"I'm sitting here remembering what it was like to apply, be
accepted, and actually come to John Jay. Back then I didn't have many
choices because I was undocumented. And I wondered to myself, how can
I still get a great education and help provide for my mom?" Cruz
said to the crowd. "John Jay gave me a shot at getting out into
the world with a good education, and a clear picture of where I
wanted to go." Read More

Connie Bolden '20 Overcomes
Domestic
Violence and Sets
Her Sights on
Law School
Listening to John Jay's Pre-Law Institute (PLI)
students read their law school personal statements can stir up a lot
of feelings. These students write about topics that are affecting our
students' everyday lives, parents being deported, beating cancer, facing
down discrimination, and surviving civil war. Any law school would be
extremely fortunate to have one of these students attend their
institution, and their personal statements exemplify experiences and
voices that are desperately needed to diversify the bar. But one
personal essay presented at our most recent PLI Boot Camp revealed a
unique voice of perseverance and strength. Her story was so
compelling that it unanimously won the PLI Boot Camp personal
statement contest. It was the voice of Connie Bolden '20, a
64-year-old John Jay student who survived repeated acts of domestic
violence, who struggles with housing insecurity, and still manages to
stay the course at John Jay. She envisions herself going to law
school and using her legal degree to help other survivors such as
herself. Read More
