Birthright Earth is an organization powered by young people. Over the past two weeks, we’ve had   several  members of our team graduate and we wanted to take a moment to say how proud we are of their accomplishment!

Eli Bronner and Ram Sivalingam both donned the Cardinal red cap and gown in Middletown, CT last weekend as graduates of Wesleyan University. Our esteemed vice president and co-founder, Eli graduates with a degree in East Asian Studies and is heading to Manhattan where he’ll work with a tech start-up as well as continue a significant role with BE. Our newest Board Member, Ram graduates with a major in Economics and East Asian Studies and will also be in New York, spending his days on the trading desk at Deutsche Bank and his evenings repping BE to the Titans of Industry.

In Washington D.C. earlier this month, Louis Aronne – one half of our two-man campus rep coordination team – graduated from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. Louis’ double major in Finance and International Business will allow him to keep saving the world in a variety of ways! Louis will pursue a career in finance and contribute some of that knowledge to BE, where he’ll take on a further role in the financing and development of the organization.

This weekend Daphne Earp will march in her first P-rade as a 2010 graudate from Princeton University. Daphne is currently weighing post-grad options and her double major in Operations Research and Financial Engineering will certainly serve her well. We hope to have Daphne more involved on the BE side of things as our trips get under way and the Operations aspect of BE becomes a focus for the team.

Even though he’s moved on from BE, we also want to shout out Ed Giese who graduated with a major in Political Science from the University of Delaware.

Congratulations Graduates! We’ll spare you the corniness of the many speeches you’ve undoubtedly heard these past few weeks. So here is it straight – welcome to a real world that sometimes sucks. You all have already proven yourselves capable of helping save it so remember Birthright Earth always has your back.

See It, Save It
