Hawa Ahmed, University of Virginia '15, shares that her liberal arts education helped her to push past seeing the world only in black and white. Hawa now says that she sees the shades of gray — the nuances and complexities that allow her to appreciate the fuller picture of the world around her. After studying Foreign Affairs and American Presidents at UVA, Hawa has gone on to work in the field of data at corporations, for a presidential campaign, and now as a Technical Business Intelligence Manager at Chief, a private network for female executives.
