Students Isabella Urteaga (2L), Sarah Fitzgerald (LL.M.), Lennox Jacobson (2L) and guest Sydney Rodetsky attended an amazing and inspiring evening of the Girls Inc. of Greater Miami, held at the Rusty Pelican on Thursday, March 5. Students’ participation at the event was coordinated by Professor Roza Pati, former member of the Founding Board of Advisors of the Girls Inc. of Greater Miami, at the invitation and sponsorship of Virginia Akar, CEO and Founder of Girls Inc. of Greater Miami, and a graduate of the LL.M. Program in Intercultural Human Rights.
“The event was amazing and highly inspiring,” wrote Sarah and Isabella, “often we hear that girls shouldn’t be left behind, but we rarely see such a unified community in full action.” The organization empowers girls through education, mentorship, and leadership by promoting confidence and breaking barriers.
