Bio: Kelly Jemison is currently a Junior at James Madison University pursuing a double major in Economics and International Affairs with an area focus in the Middle East. After being exposed to libertarian principles when she read Atlas Shrugged in high school, she attended an Institute for Humane Studies summer seminar that inspired her to take on the cause of liberty. Kelly teamed up with fellow students to co-found the organization of which she is now president, Madison Liberty, which advocates for the ideals in which she so strongly believes.
Favorite Figures in Liberty: Ayn Rand, Adam Smith, F.A. Hayek
On Students For Liberty: “While there are many ways to become exposed to the principles of liberty, SFL provides a forum for students to take their own personal beliefs one step further. I first discovered SFL when I was initially exploring the liberty movement and it has been an invaluable resource as I’ve worked to grow my own campus organization. I know first hand the power SFL wields in promoting liberty, one school at a time.”
