There she is involved in a number of organizations and groups, including:&nbsp;</span>''QUILTBAG&nbsp;''<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: georgia, serif;">a group working to ensure the fair and accurate representation of all students, particularly those within the LGBTQ+ community, and;&nbsp;</span>''INSA''<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: georgia, serif;">&nbsp;the on-campus international student organization which works to promote diversity and intercultural understanding within the Kansas City area.</span><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: georgia, serif;">Previously, Sofia was born and raised in a small town near Auckland, New Zealand, where she attended the local high school and studied an array of science based subjects intent on a career in medicine. However, after graduating early, and being offered a scholarship to study in an international boarding school in Israel -a unique school founded on the ideal of using education as a force for peace, and sustainability in the Middle East- she chose not to pursue that field.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">Rather, Sofia decided to accept the scholarship and, in 2014, she moved to Israel. Since then she has been traveling and living around the globe undertaking a variety of projects, including: volunteering as a medic in Thailand, working as a sports journalist in Macedonia, and working with Israeli NGOs to ensure the education of impoverished citizens of the West Bank.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">Sofia aspires towards an eventual career in Journalism. Using this she aims to report on international affairs and domestic conflicts in order to communicate to masses the issues which affect and, sometimes, distort this reality in which we live.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;"></span></p>= Related Resources<br/> = '''William Jewell College''' [http://universityinnovation.org/William%20Jewell%20College%20Strategic%20Priorities William Jewell College Strategic Priorities] '''Current Fellows''' [http://universityinnovation.org/Alex%20Holden Alex Holden] [http://universityinnovation.org/Gretchen%20Mayes Gretchen Mayes] [http://universityinnovation.org/Trevor%20Nicks Trevor Nicks] [http://universityinnovation.org/Ben%20Shinogle Ben Shinogle] [http://universityinnovation.org/Macy%20Tush Macy Tush] [http://universityinnovation.org/Bradley%20Dice Bradley Dice] 2016-2017 Leadership Circle:&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Sofia%20Arthurs-Schoppe Sofia Arthurs-Schoppe],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Meg%20Anderson Meg Anderson],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Conner%20Foote Conner Foote],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/William%20Hyde William Hyde],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Jesse%20Lundervold Jesse Lundervold],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Dalton%20Nelson Dalton Nelson],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Erika%20storvick Erika Storvick],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Denver%20Strong Denver Strong] 2015-2016 Leadership Circle:&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Bradley%20Dice Bradley Dice],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Trevor%20Nicks Trevor Nicks],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Ben%20Shinogle Ben Shinogle],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Alex%20Holden Alex Holden],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Macy%20Tush Macy Tush],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Gretchen%20Mayes Gretchen Mayes] 2014-2015 Leadership Circle:&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Bradley%20Dice Bradley Dice],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/James%20Milam James Milam],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Kate%20McFerren Kate McFerren],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Amelia%20Hanzlick Amelia Hanzlick],&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/Conner%20Hazelrigg Conner Hazelrigg] [[Category:Universities]]
