Three students win Zetoony Labor Studies Scholarship

Earlier this month, Provost Amy Sueyoshi presented three Labor and Employment Studies students, Jordan Isaiah Edmonds, Leila Walton and Nico Wang, with the Yetta K. Zetoony Labor Studies Scholarship. "I discovered Labor and Employment Studies as the best way to fulfill my desire to collaborate with others from similar backgrounds and create change," Edmonds, who will graduate in spring 2027, wrote in his scholarship application. "Now, I have clear goals thanks to my academic journey, and my future no longer feels bleak." Walton, who transferred to SFSU from a historically Black college in the South, is a homecare worker in Contra Costa County. She will soon start internships with the Urban League and the mayor of Vallejo, where she lives and commutes by ferry to SFSU. She has also been offered a paid internship through the nationally competitive UC Berkeley Labor Studies program. Wang just finished an internship with the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco and will graduate in spring 2027.
