Names:Martin and Emma

Bio: These two Social Justice Mentors have been outstanding as returning students to the SJ program. Emma has started a school wide campaign to help our campus do the right thing by no longer ordering apparel from companies who use sweatshops. Martin focuses most of his efforts on the plight of farm animals and looks to help others make a compassionate choice when they sit down to eat.
