My name is Ethan Rapp, and I am an undergraduate student at PennWest Edinboro. I will be entering my senior year as an education major with a concentration in social studies. Throughout my time in higher education, I have realized the importance of funding for public education. As a substitute teacher and a student worker in the library, I have seen firsthand in public schools how far each dollar can reach.
I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to work with APSCUF this summer. In these changing times, we need to strengthen and fight for public education. As a future educator, I have the same goals in mind as APSCUF, and that is why I am happy to be their 2026 summer intern and contribute to their mission!
