Sinet Kroch

Attending

Academic Major

Economics, Women & Gender Studies 
Class of 2022

Sinet Kroch is a rising junior at Bucknell University and is majoring in economics and women’s and gender studies. Motivated by her rural upbringing, Sinet aims to improve food security and environmental issues by becoming an environmental activist and protecting Cambodian people from the problem of land grabbing and environmental injustices. She grew up in Siem Reap’s rural outskirts, and unfortunately grew up in a violent household which inhibited her family’s income and prevented her three older brothers from pursuing a higher education. Sinet was determined to get an education, and she earned a full scholarship to study at the Jay Pritzker Academy (JPA), a prestigious school with both American and Cambodian curriculums. At JPA, she won scholarships to study abroad both in Australia and Singapore. 

Since starting at Bucknell, Sinet has already taken on leadership roles like becoming a  SpeakUp Peer Educator, a peer violence prevention program. She also is a Common Ground Facilitator, leading five-day retreats for Bucknell students to explore conversations regarding race, gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation.
