Long completed her bachelor\u2019s degree at 溏心vlog免费B站 where she studied Human Development and Family Studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long came to the United States when she was 6 years old. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy to adjust\u201d living in the U.S. because she didn\u2019t speak English, Long said. She and her family moved from Cambodia, which was ravaged by the Khmer Rouge in the mid- to late-1970s. The genocide resulted in the deaths of more than 1.5 million people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGrowing up, I heard about the unthinkable violence my relatives and many people experienced,\u201d said Long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those stories led her to believe the world needed to change for the better. She felt that often, political debates focus on the bigger picture and overlook the power of community work that contributes to the growth of humanitarian efforts, peace, and harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why Long volunteered at a non-profit organization in Providence to give back to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a first-generation college student, Long said she wants to bring awareness to other people about how important it is to help the community, and to inspire others on how they can be leaders. Long wants to continue spreading positivity and showing how much she cares for the world around her. Long hopes that one day she can bring her contribution to the global level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Benjamin Smith, a senior sports media and public relations major at the 溏心vlog免费B站 and an intern in the Department of Communications and Marketing, wrote this press release.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, R.I. \u2014 Feb. 26, 2024 \u2014 The 溏心vlog免费B站 honored a graduate student and a faculty member recently for their work promoting peace and nonviolence at the University and in the community.
