As an integral member of the senior management team, Jin assists the Senior Diversity Officer in the University\u2019s Antiracism Working Group and Community Safety Advisory Group. She also serves as the central resource for diversity and inclusion data across the University.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern born, western bred, Jin\u2019s commitment to equity and inclusion stems from her personal story. Born into one of the wealthiest families \u2014 but in an underdeveloped country with no rights or protection for girls \u2014 poverty became her new reality at seven months when her father unexpectedly died. Today\u2019s 11th largest world economy, South Korea, was then entrenched in systemic and systematic inequity and discrimination against women. Her mother immigrated them to the United States, and there, Jin met her childhood mentor who taught her \u2014 through community service and social justice action \u2014 that an eight-year-old immigrant from a poor country, raised by a widow, can change the world.<\/p>\n<p>Jin\u2019s childhood training in service and collective action for social change have become her ethos, and two crises have shaped her career path: September 11 and January 6 attacks. After 9\/11, she moved to D.C. to work for the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services\u2019 Office on Women\u2019s Health \u2013 the first federal agency dedicated to gender equality policy and program. After 1\/6, she moved to Boston to join BU\u2019s first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/diversity-officer\/\">Office of the Senior Diversity Officer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With expertise in empowerment and the next generation of female changemakers, Jin has worked with both Democratic and Republican administrations, Departments of State, Defense and Homeland Security, UN Agencies, global and grassroots organizations in 145 countries, serving over 10 million girls, particularly in world\u2019s poorest communities. She also founded For Girls GLocal Leadership (4GGL), collecting the first-ever global data on young women\u2019s empowerment to drive equality and social change.<\/p>\n<p>Jin received a Master of Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Bachelor of Science in mathematics from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX. She is also the youngest recipient of the Spirit of Trinity University Alumni Award for extraordinary service to global and local communities. In her free time, Jin enjoys baking, salsa dancing, and sky diving.<\/p>\n<p>Read more in the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/2022\/09\/07\/womens-empowerment-paying-it-forward-jin-in\/\">3 Questions with Jin In<\/a>&#8221; post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Photo recap of the Awards Lunch<\/h4>\n<div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"285\" id=\"kaltura_player\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnapisec.kaltura.com\/p\/2159741\/embedPlaykitJs\/uiconf_id\/54272102?iframeembed=true&#038;entry_id=1_kxi6qqs2\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitallowfullscreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay *; fullscreen *; encrypted-media *\" sandbox=\"allow-downloads allow-forms allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-modals allow-orientation-lock allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-presentation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"2022 BUWG Lunch &amp; Awards Presentation - Photo Presentation\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event announcement for Wed, Sept 14, 12-2 pm at the Metcalf Trustee Ballroom, 1 Silber Way, 9th Floor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1420,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2452],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7292"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1420"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7292"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10730,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7292\/revisions\/10730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/womensguild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
