The daughter of parents who have spent their lives helping others, Staten believed she was destined to do the same. Her interest in the labor movement was sparked during her fellowship at the Peggy Browning Fund, where she worked to secure compensation for exploited mentally ill children at a Texas treatment facility. Upon graduation in May 2023, she hopes to work in compliance and special litigation within a firm, company or specifically the National Labor Relations Board.

A witness to the power of organized labor through his wife’s experience as a healthcare worker throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, On-Sang, Jr. was motivated to do his part to keep the labor movement alive and strong. At Florida International University, he is doing research to help unionize adjunct professors while continuing to hone his skills as a worker advocate. On-Sang, Jr. will graduate in May 2023 and hopes his career helps to build strong alliances and solidarity among all working people.

Deibler has made it her priority to help educate immigrant workers on the benefits of labor organizing. Determined to halt the spread of misinformation on unionizing, she has worked with the National Immigrant Women’s Advocacy Project (NIWAP) to identify cases where undocumented female workers have been exploited by their employers. Upon her graduation in May 2024, she hopes to spend her career working on immigration policy changes that would further protect immigrant workers.

Decker was initially inspired by her mother’s efforts in organizing her own workplace. Scheduled to graduate in May 2022, she has already made a positive impact through her work with the Laundry Workers Center (LWC) in New York City.
