(From Left: Amy Barnickel, MC Santana, Amy Maitner and Stacey Malaret)<\/p><\/div>\n

Dedication and passion for women’s issues have led Amy Maitner to receive a scholarship for her work.<\/p>\n

Maitner is a junior advertising – public relations<\/a> major with a minor in women\u2019s studies<\/a>\u00a0and recently received the\u00a0Eleanor Roosevelt Women\u2019s Studies Scholarship Award. She lives her life through her passion for women\u2019s rights and social justice activism.<\/p>\n

Maitner has developed three UCF service-learning projects. These include a Blue Jeans for True Genes<\/a> jeans drive event, a human trafficking exhibit and an eating disorder prevention and awareness course for UCF students, faculty and staff.<\/p>\n

She also attended two Alternative Spring Break<\/a> trips centered on women\u2019s issues. One was at a domestic violence shelter for young girls and another in Charleston for sexual human trafficking awareness work.<\/p>\n

She is the president of the UCF-registered student organization project HEAL<\/a>, a non-profit that acts as a support system for individuals recovering from eating disorders, as well as a fundraiser for those who cannot afford treatment.<\/p>\n

Concerning the LEAD Scholars Academy<\/a>, Maitner said, \u201cThrough the program I gained confidence and awareness of myself, which later grew into many different leadership roles.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cWomen\u2019s Studies is not just a minor to me; it is a passion. I plan to continue my schooling through law school, where I hope to gain the skills to become a civil rights attorney, particularly representing women and human trafficking victims.\u201d<\/p>\n
