The center decided to award Brink for her leadership in the University chapter of Engineers Without Borders, according to a University statement. In the village of Huamanzana, Peru, Brink led students who were aiding residents with sustainability projects that allowed for solar-powered lighting in a school, enhanced fuel efficiency and improved air quality.
The Denver native is a Wilson School major. As a junior, Brink was one of six students to win a Scholars in the Nation’s Service fellowship. The scholarship gives students the opportunity to work for the federal government before earning a Master’s in Public Policy from the Wilson School.
Along with recognizing Brink, the center will give honorary citations to Michael Smith ’10 and Peter Dunbar ’10 for founding Pinas de Paz, or Pineapples for Peace, in the summer of 2008. The initiative, located in the El Chorrillo neighborhood of Panama City, involved local youth in a ceramics project in an effort to combat gang violence.
