Faith Farley joined AACRAO as the Government Relations (GR) intern just one month before the GR team’s biggest event of the year, the annual Congressional Hill Day. She hit the ground running by helping to coordinate meetings with over 90 congressional offices and helping to lead policy discussions on the day of the event. In her role, Faith also helps track important federal issues impacting higher education, communicates with Congressional offices and other stakeholders in the public policy space, as well as being a weekly contributor to Transcript.
Beyond AACRAO, Faith is currently a junior at the George Washington University (GW) where she is pursuing a Bachelor’s in International Affairs and Political Science. At school, Faith enjoys serving as the Head Delegate for GW’s Model United Nations team of 80 individuals. This involves organizing meetings, leading the team’s competition prep, as well as coordinating travel and housing accommodations. Faith was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. In her free time, she enjoys exploring local DC restaurants and cafes and going for walks on the national mall.
