An international studies major, Adeleye plans to teach English  in a French-speaking country before she pursues a master’s  degree.  In the summer of 2014, Adeleye interned with The Advocates  for Human Rights in Minneapolis, a nonprofit organization  that implements international human rights standards to  promote civil society and reinforce law. As a human rights  education program intern, her assignments included  researching and updating human rights education curriculum  and lesson plans for teachers, and conducting background  research and resource lists for trainings and educational materials.  Adeleye studied abroad in Madagascar as a part of a rural  development and urbanization program during the fall of 2013. During her time abroad, Adeleye participated in  a month-long independent study project on HIV/AIDS in Madagascar. In the summer of 2013, Adeleye worked as a child  protection, care and education intern for International Needs Ghana, an affiliate of global nonprofit International Needs  Network that aims to improve deprived communities through development and human rights initiatives. As a part of the  internship, Adeleye worked alongside a team to ensure children access to quality education, and took part in field  observations to rural villages to learn about the potential improvement of water systems and water system integration  methods.  At Illinois Wesleyan, Adeleye has worked as a French tutor and an operations coordinator’s assistant for the business  administration and economics departments. She is a member of Amnesty International; Pi Delta Phi, national French  honor society; and Phi Beta Delta, an honor society for international scholars. Adeleye has served as Student Senate  representative for the African Student Association and as a residence hall representative. By Tia Patsavas ’16    Kemi Adeleye ’15
