So grateful for all the opportunities provided to me this summer by the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence and the Schwartz Family for their contribution to the local community-based internship programs at University of Rochester. It won’t be a summer easily forgotten. To be surrounded by so many amazing and outspoken people is truly a unique experience that I will be sure to hold onto in my future ventures. - Faye Stephenson
