Amelia Catacutan

2022 Newman Family Scholarship Recipient

“Amelia Catacutan is a student at UW–Madison majoring in International Studies and Educational Studies with certificates in Asian American Studies, Educational Policy, and Social Justice and Education. She pursued international studies out of interest due to her upbringing in a Filipino household and exposure to a variety of cultures. With her involvement in foreign exchange programs in school, she found herself fascinated by international studies specifically as it relates to education. She is a proud member of the Filipinx American Student Organization (FASO) and hopes to use her knowledge to make schooling more accessible and beneficial for marginalized and multicultural students. She is grateful for the support of the IS program and the Newman family.”
