Hi, I'm Jules F

Currently taking a semester off and living in New London doing grassroots organizing with a local organization, Hearing Youth Voices! I am in a Dual Degree program with Wash U, St. Louis, and I will be transferring to Wash U for the second half of my program next fall. As a Conn College Junior, I know the campus inside and out and I would be so happy to share my experiences, thoughts, and tips with any and all prospective students and their families. While at Conn, I tutored General Physics for my 3 eligible semesters. I even worked for the ARC and developed a supplementary content website for Intro Physics students. In my freshman year, I was a thrower (discus and hammer) on the track team. I was the Sustainability Special Projects Intern Fall 2025 and have worked in partnership with many offices across campus. In that position, I cowrote and passed a resolution with the Student Government Association to update our plastic straw and water bottle policies to remove eco-ableism from the procedures around such tools. I also worked towards implementing the sustainability project I developed right here at Conn in our Applications of Sustainability class. I’ve engaged heavily in music education at Conn and even played trombone in the wind ensemble for several semesters. Intro to Music Theory really helped in my trombone lessons here, too! This Spring, I will be continuing revitalization work in a local elementary school garden space I started with an education class group at Conn this past fall. There, I will integrate the accessibility guidelines I gathered from our Student Accessibility Services resources. I have been working with SAS for a year and a half as a mentor for younger disabled students (through our pre-orientation program, Helix) and I have learned a lot about disability justice in that time. Accessibility has been at the forefront of my work ever since. In my grassroots work this spring, I will be working towards increasing access to voting for Conn students, engaging the community with green spaces and sustainability practices, and potentially even working with the arboretum on some accessibility projects. I’d love to talk about how I found these avenues!
