Sosamma believes Christians can impact our society and its complex issues in pr<strong>of</strong>ound and<br />
positive ways. This belief prompted her to propose WJU’s Public Policy Degree program to<br />

students to serve God through public service to the community.<br />

Department and served as an Advisory Member to Advancement in facilitating the outreach<br />
and fundraising efforts for the campus move to Rocklin from San Jose. Most <strong>of</strong> her previous<br />
career, Sosamma served as an international lawyer focusing on global human rights concerns.<br />
She has worked with a number <strong>of</strong> policy and advocacy groups at the local, national, and<br />
international levels, including the United Nations. She also has conducted first <strong>of</strong> their kind<br />
policy studies and advocacy conferences in the U.S. and in Latin America on issues such as:<br />
global child survival, sexual slavery, economic/social rights, conflict resolution, housing,<br />
education, race and poverty.<br />
