Arch Scholars Alumni Panel

May 21, 2025

Three recent Arch Scholars alumni and over 40 students joined us in Tech to chat about how Arch Scholars uplifted their Northwestern experience and enabled them to discover the post-grad path that was right for them.

Those incredible alumni included...

Rwan Ibrahim ’22, ’23 MPH

Optimization & Integration Consultant at Lurie Children's Medical Group

Sherlina Chauhan ’19

(Cultural Anthropology)

Continuum of Care Program Coordinator at Alliance to End Homelessness

Dominique Mejia ’17

(Sociology)

Supervising Attorney at National Immigrant Justice Center

Rwan's Insights:
- There are so many careers you don't know about in the fields you're curious about.
Sherlina's Advice:
- The connections you make at Northwestern will be more valuable than you know.
Dominuqe's Perspective:
- Internships are a great opportunity to learn what you do want to do, but also what you don't want to do.

There was one overarching theme: don’t do it alone! Ask for help when you need it and utilize the many resources available at Northwestern!

Thank you Rwan, Sherlina, and Dominique for joining us!
