Sarah Guggemos Receives Omicron Delta Kappa Scholarship

Sarah Guggemos (Tulane University, 2020) is a 2022-23 recipient of an Omicron Delta Kappa John Karlem Riess Scholarship. Guggemos, of Northbrook, graduated magna cum laude from Tulane University in May 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts with majors in English and political science. After her initiation into the Tulane Circle, she was elected as one of its three co-presidents. While at Tulane, Guggemos was an active member of the Undergraduate Student Government, the Green Wave Ambassadors, and the Panhellenic Council. She also interned with Southeast Louisiana Legal Services and Tulane University's Upward Bound Program. For the past year, Guggemos has worked as the Project Director of the Transitional Justice Evaluation Tools Project (TJET). TJET is a collective of researchers from Harvard University and Tulane University whose research aims to discover evidence-based trends in transitional justice and human rights issues. Guggemos' interest in this work formed while she studied abroad in The Hague in 2019. This fall, Guggemos will read for her master's degree in English and American studies at the University of Oxford. She's looking forward to working on her dissertation with the resources offered by the Faculty of English and the Rothermere American Institute. Guggemos hopes to think critically and creatively about the challenges facing the United States through a career as an author and academic.
