Austin Lewis

2020 - Austin Lewis

For Austin Lewis, politics and music both richly informed his undergraduate studies and experiences. Interested in music's effect on social change and how marginalized groups gain representation, he studied the Lilith Fair music festival to examine how music can represent an ideology and thus impact mainstream culture. As the founder and president of the student club Hound Sounds, he promoted communal singing as a relaxed and supportive form of campus community. Austin was often seen and heard playing guitar on campus, and he shared his learning generously with other students as a mentor and a tutor. He is a member of several honor societies, including the political science honor society, Pi Sigma Alpha. -Khristina Haddad, Associate Professor of Political Science

Looking ahead: Austin is pursuing graduate school.
