Contributing Writer - UT Austin
Dani Cummings is a Plan II, Class of ’13 student about to declare the first-ever double-major in Humanities. The reason it’s never been done before? Both Honors majors require separate theses, which would have most people running for cover – but Dani is nerdy enough to be thrilled at the prospect! She is a native-Austinite with more “indie” taste than she can afford to indulge who loves fair-trade coffee, Half-Price books, and sunsets on parking garages. Dani is a leader on Asian American Campus Ministry’s Justice Team and currently enrolled in InterVarsity’s Student Training in Missions. She is preparing for a two-month trip to Ghana this summer, where she hopes to deepen her understanding of the gospel by crossing cultures, and be a voice for the voiceless by writing about the lives she encounters. Dani also has the privileges of being an officer for Longhorn Unit of Volunteering and working as the counselor to her church’s high school freshman girls. Dani fills those rare free spaces on her Google Calendar with hanging out with (and baking for) her amazing friends and family, without whom she would literally die.
