Danielle Rugoff
Presidential Leadership Scholars program
Class of 2024
Growing up in a home with domestic violence, Danielle Rugoff learned the importance of language from a very young age, quickly realizing that her word choice could decrease or increase the temperature in her household when her father came home from work.
Now the Presidential Leadership Scholar and Dallas-Fort Worth native is urging all Americans to be more intentional with their language as the country experiences increased polarization.
“It's no surprise to any of us that the country is toxically divided and that we struggle to communicate effectively across the divide,” Rugoff said.
Rugoff is one of 537 Presidential Leadership Scholars who are all facing critical challenges at home or around the world.
