Sarah Moros
Closing Session, Sunday, March 5th, 1:30pm, Langford Auditorium
Sarah Moros is a senior Latin American Studies major at Yale University, where she co-founded and served on the board of Reach Out: The Yale College Partnership for International Service from 2002-2004. She is interested in issues of sustainable development, the urban environment, international connectedness, and social justice. She has traveled widely throughout South America and will dedicate herself to fieldwork in Mexico and Argentina with Mercado Global, a nonprofit fair trade organization whose mission is to link the world's most economically-disadvantaged cooperatives to the U.S. market through a model that provides both fair wages and investments in local educational and health projects. Sarah is considering pursuing a joint degree in Law and Urban Planning and hopes to one day work for a policy/diplomacy organization such as The Carter Center or a development organization such as the International Institute for Environment and Development. Sarah's keynote address will address the challenge keeping one's passion for activism alive in the long term.
