Accolades: Sou Xiong
California State University, Stanislaus student Sou Xiong of Merced is participating in the Sacramento semester program which provides participants with first-hand experience working in a legislative office.
A senior political science major at CSU Stanislaus, Xiong came to the United States with his family from Thailand at the age of 5 and attended Merced schools. He plans to enroll in the master of public Administration program at CSU Stanislaus this fall. Three of his brothers and sisters are also attending college as the first members of their family to pursue higher education.
As a member of this spring's Sacramento Semester internship program, which is coordinated through Sacramento State, Xiong has been placed in the Capitol office of State Senator Jeff Denham. Working closely with the senator's legislative director, Xiong's duties include working on legislative issues and conducting research. Xiong is one of only 12 from California campuses other than Sacramento State.
