Eric Mengel

Eric is passionate about politics and has worked on a voter outreach strategy, as well as Invictus Strategies for fundraising during his time at the University of Wisconsin. Last year, he took some time off from attending the University of Wisconsin to take classes locally. He took his time to re-establish himself and figure out where he wanted to be as a college student. A dean from his high school wrote about the time he took off from college, “It was awesome that he has recaptured his bold love of life and enthusiasm for life’s possibilities.”

Eric’s long-term plans include working in politics, potentially on campaigns, on political action committees, or in strategy. This is Eric’s fourth Susan Fund scholarship.
