Bo Schlagel grew up on a farm in a rural community in Colorado. Surrounded by farm workers, Mexican immigrants, and farmers from an early age, he decided to concentrate in Development Studies with a focus on agricultural immigration. While at Brown, he has participated in Mezcla, studied abroad in Brazil, South Africa, and Vietnam, and taught at D’Abate Elementary School in Olneyville. Bo looks forward to graduating and entering the field of international development.
