Shreya Bandyopadhyay: Hello! My name is Shreya Bandyopadhyay, and I am a Senior studying political science, legal studies, and gender and women’s studies. I am originally from St. Louis Missouri. While at UW, I have interned for a number of organizations starting with Senator Lena C. Taylor in the Wisconsin legislature to working at Vital Voices, a women’s nonprofit based in D.C. After completing the Wisconsin in Washington program, I switched from a pre-law track to a political communications track and one day hope to work in consulting. My interests include women’s rights and nonprofit advocacy. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you more this year!

Ben Keeler: My name is Ben Keeler, and I am excited to be a Political Science Peer Advisor this school year! A little bit about myself, I am a senior from Chicago majoring in political science and history, with a certificate in public policy. My studies focus on the intersection of defense and foreign policy. Currently, I am an intern at Daniel K. Inouye Center for Asia-Pacific Security Studies. In the spring, I will commission as an officer in the US Army through the ROTC program here at UW-Madison. I eventually hope to earn an MA in international relations and pursue a career in foreign policy. In my free time, I love to watch football, spend time outdoors, and read.
