Intern
Raniyah Lawrence is a Political Science prelaw scholar at Lincoln University committed to turning civic knowledge into student power. She approaches leadership as both a responsibility and a strategy that centers advocacy, accountability, and access. As an active member of the Student Senate, Raniyah works to elevate student concerns and contribute to policies that directly impact campus life. She believes student government should be more than symbolic. It should be a space where real change happens and where every voice has weight. Through her involvement in the Thurgood Marshall Law Society, she strengthens her legal foundation while engaging deeply in conversations about constitutional rights, justice, and representation. The organization prepares her for law school and reinforces her commitment to using the legal system as a tool for equity and empowerment. Raniyah is excited to bring her campus leadership, legislative perspective, and passion for civic engagement to PA Youth Vote, helping cultivate informed, confident, and politically engaged young people across Pennsylvania.
