Lavinia Hurley - Co-President
Lavinia is a second year IMBA
Spanish Tracker. While still in college, she began working for businesses and
organizations with a social impact. This got her hooked, and she spent the next
several years of her career concentrating on under-served populations,
education, inner-city and poverty issues, as well as youth development. This
year, she studied in Guadalajara, Mexico, and then interned for two non-profits
in Mexico City. The first, Ashoka, is a well-known social-entrepreneurship
investment organization. In the second, PODER, a corporate transparency and
accountability non-profit, she advocated for South American workers' rights.
Following a semester in France and graduation, she hopes to continue finding
sustainable solutions in not-for-profit--this time on an international scale.
Caroline Osborne - Co-President
Caroline is a second year IMBA
student in the Portuguese track and also speaks Spanish. She became
interested in sustainability while working for The Coca-Cola Company’s
government relations office in Washington, DC. She realized that for any
company to be successful in this day and age, it has to have a legitimate
corporate social responsibility program. Before Coca-Cola, she worked for
the PGA European Tour in England and just completed an internship at Scripps Networks
Interactive, the parent company of the Food Network, Travel Channel and
HGTV. She is excited to be a part of Net Impact and believes that all
companies, no matter the size, can play a positive role in sustainability.
