ABOUT ME
Hello, and welcome to my undergraduate portfolio! My name is Sydney Devitt (she/her/hers) and I am 21 years old, graduating with a Bachelors of Arts from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Graduating in just 3 and ½ years, I am proud to say I will have obtained a double major in International Studies and Political Science, a minor in History, an international emphasis in Political Science, and a Global Scholar certificate. Growing up as the oldest child in my family, navigating the college experience was a new and exciting adventure I had the amazing opportunity to embrace. When deciding to attend UW Oshkosh, I knew public service and the politics of the world were my passions, but I had no idea for the academic journey I was about to embark.
​
Within this portfolio, you can find my work in both International Studies and Political Science, my resume, details about my involvement, and global scholar experience.
I hope this portfolio gives you an insight into my life, goals, and experiences.
