My name is Natalie Goncher and I am a rising senior at Colgate University. I am majoring in Political Science and double minoring in Sociology and Environmental Studies. As a student and citizen, I strive to build strong connections between myself and those outside of my immediate community as well as work to be an active member of my own. Due to the repressive and cyclical nature of our criminal justice system, I believe in aiding in the cultivation of a safe and supportive environment for formerly incarcerated individuals. Through Witness to Mass Incarceration, I look to provide such populations with resources to ensure their protection and advocate for social change.
