Khalil Williams

Khalil Williams isn’t waiting until he graduates in 2020 to start cultivating real-world change. This Chancellor’s Associates Scholar has enrolled as a double major in political science and clinical psychology and volunteers with UC San Diego’s Foster the Students organization, which mentors students who have come through the foster and social-service systems and connects these learners to the campus’s full range of support services. Already an advocate for young people who are overcoming challenging backgrounds, Khalil ultimately plans to join forces with his sister and establish a juvenile-psychotherapy practice with a legal emphasis in order to address criminal justice issues and improve the lives of children nationwide. Our scholars put plans into action!
