" "Being apart of this fellowship will improve my collaboration and leadership skills. I hope to find creative ways to make change. I also believe being an Millennium Fellow, provides an excellent opportunity to bring the issue of Human Trafficking to the attention of more people. It's an ongoing issue that's increasing and I don't believe it's talked about enough." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Breaking the Chains of Human Trafficking
This project aims to spread awareness about human trafficking. This includes looking at the definition of human trafficking, the types, who it can affect, signs to look out for, how to help, and more. The targeted audience includes all college students and faculty, usually students majoring in the health sciences as it relates to this topic in some way. I originally hoped to make a change and reach out to at least 15 students on this campus. Through surveys, a seminar, and a tabling event so far, I've been able to spread awareness about human trafficking to at least 30 students and faculty. I was also able to incorporate honoring and showing support to survivors of human trafficking by making a board with blue ribbons, the national human trafficking awareness month symbol. The blue ribbons was one way for me to measure my impact.
About the Millennium Fellow
Samantha Sergi is a dedicated undergraduate at Pace University studying psychology. She was born in China and adopted at age 3 and currently lives in Pennsylvania. Ever since Samantha was young, she always knew she wanted to work in a field that helped other people. Starting in high school, Samantha aspired to go into law school and reduce the number of falsely imprisoned people. When she first arrived at Pace, she took a course relating to the environment and the sustainable development goals. There and during a weekend seminar did Samantha discover more about her passion to helping victims of human trafficking. Through this fellowship, Samantha will use this opportunity to spread awareness and notify people signs of human trafficking.
