Molly Wilcoxson is a rising second-year student at Grinnell College. She plans to major in Anthropology with a concentration in Peace and Conflict Studies. She first developed an interest in housing policy through the Build a Better Grinnell, 2030 Project, a community needs assessment of Grinnell. Here, where she served as a research assistant, she analyzed housing and economic policy within the town of Grinnell, and how it impacted the stability of town residents. She is interested in researching the interaction between housing policy and how decisions may interact with sociocultural norms. Following her time at Grinnell, Molly plans to pursue a career in urban planning and community development, where she hopes she is able to make a difference in the way housing policy is enacted..
Outside of academics, Molly is an avid fan of journalism, geography, and music. She enjoys visiting local coffee shops and hanging out with her friends.
