Cece King

Cece King currently studies Arabic, Geography, and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Dartmouth College. A journalist, she is writing a column for the Camden Herald and contributes to various publications in New York and Maine. In 2019, Cece finished her term as a voting member of Manhattan Community Board 8, where she represented her 230,000 person district and sat on the Small Business and Education Committees. This past winter she dove deep into the United Nations Archives to research regime change in the Congo for a Foreign Affairs author’s book. Last summer, she traveled to Texas as a legal assistant and Spanish interpreter at the Immigration Justice Campaign’s Dilley Pro Bono Project, helping prepare detained immigrants for asylum interviews. She now serves on the executive board of the Coalition for Immigration Reform and Equality at Dartmouth.

In high school she spent a semester studying ethics and international policy in Washington D.C. at The School for Ethics and Global Leadership. She later received a National Security Language Initiative scholarship from the US Department of State to live in Rabat, Morocco and learn Arabic. More than studying the language, she went camping in the Sahara desert and had weekly tea with shopkeepers in the Rabat souk. Cece has also performed with the largest children’s circus in North America. When she’s not exploring new corners of the world, she’s choreographing aerial acts in her head or brainstorming her next halloween costume–she dressed up as Gloria Steinem her senior year of high school. Explore, reconsider, and dive deep with her as she challenges students to learn from diverse perspectives with enthusiasm.
