Andres Ruiz
Andres Ruiz, a high school sophomore from Lynwood, Calif., is a member of the Institute’s William P. Lauder Junior Intern Program for middle and high school students. “Testimony has changed the way I look at people,” he said. “Now I look at people with many stories, not just one.”
Tori Blackburn
In response to the Institute's 100 Days to Inspire Respect initiative, “it makes my students look at things from a different perspective, not just the ‘me’ perspective,” she said. “That’s the biggest thing I think they’re going to get out of it, learning to be more empathetic to others.”
Suzi Weiss-Fischman
