Graduate Profile: Jennifer Louie, MRPL '23

How I've Changed  

I have discovered a new relationship with my work in tech and acquired new knowledge that has strengthened my abilities to advocate for and engage with social justice. I have a fundamentally different frame of reference to guide me morally into the future. 

Memorable Moment 

Having so much community show up for the Moral Innovation Invitational—especially during finals period. It really was humbling and so generous. 

Favorite Class or Professor 

"Sanctuary Ethics" with Healan Gaston. 

Message of Thanks  

I first want to thank my roommates. They lead with so much heart and the conversations we have are the most expansive, soulful and inspired. I have been forever changed for the better by them. Thank you to the generosity of my professors at HDS, HKS and HLS. Especially Professors Mayra Rivera, Healan Gaston, Matthew Potts, Diana Eck, David Lamberth, Atalia Omer, Leah Plunkett, Chris Robichaud, Latanya Sweeney, and  Leonie Beyrle. I’d like to thank my family for supporting the choices I make that they don’t fully understand or agree with. And special thanks to Kerry Barker, my dear friend and mentor who has supported me on this journey. 

What I Hope to Be Remembered By 

I hope to be remembered for my initiative, openness to learn, show up with a generous spirit, engage across disciplines, and willingness to dive into new challenges. I hope how I care is reflected in the following: the Soulful Supper, the Spiritual Care Project, the Grief Altar in Swartz, the Moral Innovation Invitational, Religiously Redefining, the Moral Futurism: Digital Citizenship in the Metaverse and Beyond BKC salon series, Morning Prayers. 

Future Plans 

I will spend the summer continuing to build the Spiritual Care Project and Moral Innovation Lab. I will also be working out of Berkman Klein. After that, I am open to whatever the world has in store for me.
