Rowan Roudebush plans on graduating BHS in 2022. If he isn’t working on a project you can find Rowan playing soccer, playing Jazz on the guitar, or cooking something with friends. Rowan first found his love for writing through Brookline High School's student run newspaper, The Sagamore, where he is the Longform Managing Editor. Rowan uses writing and research to better understand the world and explore what a better one could look like. After writing an article about the achievement gap at BHS, Rowan co-found BRAVE, a central collaboration space for activists and stakeholders interested in reforming Brookline Schools around racial equity and justice. Rowan finds meaning in working on and writing about social justice issues, and hopes to do this for the rest of his life. He is excited to have the opportunity to make his writing more engaging and personal to the reader through the Whipple Fellowship!
