B.S. Urban and Regional Studies 2009
Emma Osore lived and interned in New York City during the summer of 2007 as a part of the Cornell Urban Scholars Program. Professor Richard Kiely taught the social-justice-based introductory course in the spring, which included a placement plan that helped guide students to not-for-profit agencies all over the city. Emma spent her summer at Added Value, an urban farm in Red Hook, Brooklyn where she was responsible for event planning for farmers’ markets and developing service learning outings and reflections with teen participants. These efforts attracted community members to healthy, local foods available at markets and helped teens think about the impacts of their positive influence in the community.
