Win ’24: Close to Home But Far From the Familiar
As a child, Pyu Pyu Win ’24 and her family immigrated to the United States from Myanmar. They stopped in Illinois and Indiana before settling in Utica, N.Y., where The Young Scholars Liberty Partnerships Program (YSLPP), a collaborative project established between Utica University and the Utica City School District, helped Win navigate her education and ultimately become a Hamilton student.
Despite moving fewer than 30 minutes from home, Win discovered a host of new opportunities at Hamilton. After spending her first five weeks on campus for the Arthur O.

She was accepted and immediately began tutoring middle and high school students in Clinton, later interning at the Johnson Park Center in Utica.
