Sarah Glisson, a student at Ramapo College of New Jersey, has made history by becoming the first Truman Scholar from her institution. This prestigious award is given to outstanding students committed to public service, and Glisson was selected from 781 nominees nationwide, with only 55 recipients. She will also serve as a commencement speaker for the Class of 2026 on May 14, 2026, alongside radio personality Don La Greca. Glisson's journey in public service began in her first year at Ramapo, particularly through her involvement with the Andrew Goodman Foundation, which focuses on empowering college students to engage in democracy. Her achievements include multiple leadership roles, an internship with a State Senator, and being recognized on the Dean's List. Glisson will receive the Outstanding Leadership by a Senior Student honor at the upcoming Student Leadership Awards ceremony. Looking ahead, she plans to intern with the government relations office at Virtua Health and pursue a law degree, all while cherishing her roots in Cinnaminson, New Jersey.
