Calee Carroll, a sophomore from Danville Kentucky, at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green Kentucky, is majoring in Political Science on a pre-law track, while also pursuing a minor in Legal Studies. Carroll is the Secretary for WKU Hilltopper Organization of Latin American Students and a navigator for the Intercultural Student Engagement Center at WKU. Carroll was adopted from Guatemala as a young child. Her personal struggle to obtain citizenship has created a passion for immigration law. “It has taken me over 10 years to get this far, which is a huge reason I feel so led to immigration law” Carroll says. Her goal is to go into work with immigration law after she graduates law school.
Carroll gives her boyfriend, Evan Wheeler, a sophomore studying Architectural Sciences at WKU, Pan Dulce Maria Luisa, a dessert she picked up from Mercadito Hispano, a local hispanic grocery store in Bowling Green, on March 27, 2024.

Carroll discusses the upcoming officer elections for the Hilltopper Organization of Latin American Students with Jose Gonzalez, the owner of Mercadito Hispano, a local hispanic grocery store in Bowling Green, on April 3, 2024.

“I got this in Louisville I think” Calee Carroll explains, as she reads La Oración Our Lady of Guadalupe in English on April 3, 2024. “I got this because I teach ESL classes. At the time, I think this was like my senior year in high school, I was pretty dead set on becoming a teacher, and she is the patron saint of [...] teachers and healers. [...] I just got this because I was very unsure of what I wanted to do at the time. And obviously that is not the path I ended up going down [...] It's just a nice reminder to have that there is something guarding you.”
