common global concerns in a positive, holistic, and transforming way. The organization’s efforts |
|
1-17 |
and determination to engage and guide the entire student body towards the path of living together |
|
1-18 |
in peace earned it the “Organization of the Year Award”; and |
|
1-19 |

|
1-20 |
chosen by the Adler Pollock & Sheehan Diversity committee to receive its 2012 scholarship |
|

|

well for her future success and her noteworthy accomplishments are not only a tremendous source |
|
2-4 |

|
2-5 |
therefore be it |
|
2-6 |
