During her time at Lee,Reed explored many opportunitieswithin the history and political sciencedepartments and asserts that her timespent as an officer in Pi Sigma Alpha,the Political Science Honor Society atLee, was a “precursor to her ability tomove comfortably in political circles.”“Debating politics in class sharpenedmy ability to be diplomatic, and many of my academicexperiences at Lee served to sharpen my logic, reasoning andresearch abilities, as well as giving me the confidence to usethem,” said Reed.After graduating, Reed moved to Scotland to pursue amasters of social sciences in Nationalism Studies at the Universityof Edinburgh. Afterwards, Reed worked in politics inboth the United States and Scotland. Her work includedresearching and planning policy events for a former memberof Scottish Parliament, which she says, “plunged her into thedeep end of Scottish politics.”“Fair trade is a partnership between consumers in moredeveloped countries like the United States and producers inplaces like Africa, Asia, and South America who make manyof the goods we buy—from coffee to chocolate, bananas tosoccer balls.”Reed explained that this is not a task for one nation alone,but encourages global participation within fair trade: “We arehelping people we may never even meet to achieve a life inwhich they cannot only take pride in their work, but can bepaid fairly for it. The reason I do it is because I believe that it'sright and lines up with values rooted in my faith. And I wouldsay that the job I do now is fueled by both my faith and myunderstanding of global political systems, so it really doescombine my faith and my education.” —Katie GeeCity ____________________________________________________State ________ Zip ______________ Last Year at Lee ___________Phone (H) _______________________________________________Phone (W) _______________________________________________E-mail Address ___________________________________________Family (spouse, children, etc.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Occupation ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Brief notes of interest ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________THREE WAYS TO SEND US YOUR UPDATE• Lee’s Web Site: www.leeuniversity.edu.
