Hannah Minchow-Proffitt, a junior at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri, is committed to spreading awareness about human trafficking and sustainable giving. Through her involvement in the Rwanda Community Partnership Project (RCPP) and other social justice centered campus organizations, she has become passionate about the future of the micro-financing revolution taking place in the non-profit sector and hopes to expand the RCPP to include more micro-loan projects in Rwanda. The human trafficking cause has also become a passion for Hannah, resulting in her planning and implementation of a community art auction to raise funds for Polaris Project, a leading anti-slavery organization.

The Swearer Award has provided me with such an incredible venue for advocacy. At Penn, I've had the chance to speak to faculty, students, and alumni who are interested more than ever in supporting the civic mission of higher education.
