Bio

Hello! I’m Olivia Blauser, I am a rising senior at Tennessee State University pursuing dual degrees in Political Science and Urban Studies. As a member of the Honors College, I maintain a 4.0 GPA and have consistently earned President’s List recognition. On campus, I serve as First Vice President and PI5 Chair of the Alpha Psi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and as Secretary and Representative in the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature. I am also involved with Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity International, the Law School Admission Council Plus Guided Journey Program, serve as a Leadership Institute Ambassador for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and an Across the Aisle Answer the Call Ambassador. Professionally, I have served as an Scheduling Intern in the Mayor’s Office for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, previously interned in the U.S. House of Representatives for Congressman Emanuel Cleaver through the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Internship Program, and worked as a Community Organizer with Rhizome. I also participated in Her Bold Move’s Future Leaders Fellowship and currently participate in Her Bold Move's Summer Law Circle Program. My honors include selection as an PPIA Junior Summer Institute Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, an American Enterprise Institute Summer Honors Program participant, a Niskanen Center Summer Scholar, and a finalist for the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation.
