Vincent Cahill

Class of 2017
Hometown: Elkin, NC

Vincent Cahill, of Elkin, NC, graduated in May 2017 with degrees in Chemistry, Economics, and Political Science. Upon graduation, Vincent moved to New York City to join the law office of Davis Polk & Wardwell as a Litigation Legal Assistant. After working in the city for a few years, Vincent ultimately intends to apply to law school. Vincent directed his extracurricular activity to voter engagement initiatives, UNC Charlotte Student Government Association (SGA), and UNC Association of Student Government – a state-wide student government organization for the UNC System. “I particularly enjoyed working with student groups, staff, and campus administration to make incremental improvements to the UNC Charlotte student experience, and I am most proud of the SGA campaign to transition graduation robes from black to 49er green,” Vincent said. Vincent spent the spring semester of his sophomore studying abroad in Prague, Czech Republic. “My semester in Prague was one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. The ramifications of its recent communist history were present in the city’s architecture, its culture, and my course curriculum.” Vincent spent his summers at the Carolinas HealthCare Foundation, completing economic research at UNC Charlotte, and working as a Field Organizer for the Roy Cooper for Governor campaign. “Being a Levine Scholar opened every door for me to pursue my academic and civic interests; I could not be more grateful for these four years.”
