Social justice ranks near the top of the long list of things Laura is passionate about. She believes that deeply educating oneself about the key challenges facing today’s society is a critical first step toward solving them. While studying in Buenos Aires, for example, she attended a number of feminist events in order to better understand gender inequality issues in the region. Laura chose to attend Minerva because she felt being part of the first graduating class was an opportunity not to be missed.
