Summer 2025 Intern - Mehwish Hasan

Mehwish Hasan is an Honors English Language and Literature undergraduate at Stony Brook University, with minors in Theatre Arts and Political Science. She recently moved from Queens to Suffolk County, where she encountered a new and vibrant environment. To adapt and find her place, she often visited the local library, which became a significant source of inspiration. It was there that her interest in learning more about librarianship, particularly in law, academic, and public libraries, along with her dedication to civic engagement, truly took shape. Mehwish also has a strong interest in social work, community building, and the arts, and she has always been deeply inspired by film and creative writing. In her free time, she enjoys going to the gym, watching movies, writing, exploring diverse cultural foods and customs, and listening to music from various genres, time periods, and languages. She's committed to using her creativity and passion for fostering connections to make a meaningful, holistic impact in her community.
