Imogen Satya Greenwald Frazier ’25

“It’s a rare space for creatives and academics,” says Imogen Satya Greenwald Frazier ’25 of Wesleyan, referencing how she can explore different disciplines here—history, film, business, international relations—and create her own distinct path to connect them. “Once you have a basic skill set, you can do anything,” she adds, and she could be talking about the collective she launched for women and gender non-conforming DJs on campus, analyzing the evolution of the cacao market throughout history, learning Portuguese, or serving as the coxswain for the men’s crew team.

But if there’s one skill set Imogen is intent on mastering by the time she graduates, it’s the one that will help expand food security and sovereignty globally. From founding “Food for Thought” in high school—a club that cooked for those experiencing homelessness, to her volunteer work as Wesleyan’s Food Rescue Coordinator (where leftover food from the different eateries around campus this past semester resulted in 3,870 meals served at the Eddy Shelter in Middletown), to the connections she makes in her coursework for classes like Food Security: History of an Idea, connecting the micro to the macro is how Imogen’s impact will ultimately resonate.
