Joining forces Dalai Lama Scholar Andrew Hallak leads project to leverage UCI sustainability efforts
Senior international studies major Andrew Hallak believes that concerns about environmental sustainability can unite people who typically don’t interact with each other, and as this year’s Dalai Lama Scholar at the University of California, Irvine, he hopes to build a bridge connecting them. “Here on campus, I feel like we can get stuck in silos - bioscience, engineering, social sciences - working on sustainability within our own disciplines,” Hallak says. “My Global Partners for Sustainability project is not about reinventing the wheel but bolstering what we already have here on campus, building on the groundbreaking work of the UCI Sustainability Initiative and the Global Sustainability Resource Center to fully leverage our interconnectedness.” Under UCI’s privately funded XIV Dalai Lama Endowed Scholarship program, established in 2004 after the Tibetan spiritual leader first visited the campus, up to $16,000 from UCI and Dalai Lama Fellows, a Bay Area nonprofit, is awarded annually to an undergraduate (or a duo) proposing the best “compassion in action” project. Hallak is the 15th recipient of the scholarship. |
