Not too many college freshmen tote around a fat portfolio of media clippings, awards, and photos of themselves giving a presentation in San Jose City Council chambers. But Kelly Estes `08, a student at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business, is not your ordinary freshman.

She recently became the third-youngest-ever commissioner on the Santa Clara County Human Relations Commission, a 15-member citizen advisory board that researches issues of discrimination or prejudice and provides recommendations to the county’s Board of Supervisors. 

“I appointed Kelly because of her commitment to community service.

I knew she would make a great addition to the Human Relations Commission.”
