Jason Mazique

Williams College, Class of 2021

Major: Political Science

Jason Mazique graduated Williams College in Williamstown, MA with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. His interest in the administrative and policy-shaping portion of medicine first grew during his time volunteering at a family and child care center in Washington D.C, but eventually became a passion during his time working at Health and Human Services. He is currently a Luce Scholar at the Henry Luce Foundation. 

During his time at SUMR, Mazique spent his time working on two separate projects. The first project involved working on the Life STORRIED project with Dr. Zachary Meisel, MD, MPH, MSHP that qualitatively researched the effectiveness of narrative-based intervention on the opioid epidemic in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The second project involved working with Dr. Therese Richmond, PhD, RN, FAAN which investigated the causes of chronic pain inequities among minority populations. The project hoped to eventually identify potential intervention pathways to address pain burdens for African American and Latinx patients. 

While at Williams College, Mazique served as a Junior Advisor for the incoming first year class. Within this role, Jason guided first year students throughout their first year of college by providing available resources for any educational, psychological, or financial needs and helping them become acclimated to college life. He also served as the Alumni Secretary of the Williams College Men’s Rugby Team and as a member of the Medical Bioethics Club. In his free time, he likes to watch his favorite NBA team (the Toronto Raptors) lose in the playoffs, listen to music, and have spirited political debates with friends.
