Lunch & Lead with Krishna Patel
From Director of Character Education Kate Parker-Burgard:
Last Thursday, the Center for Leadership hosted Krishna Patel as the Lunch & Lead guest speaker. Patel currently serves as General Counsel and Director of Justice Initiatives at Grace Farms Foundation, a private operating foundation located in New Canaan. As Director of Justice Initiatives, Patel focuses on, among other things, combatting and eradicating modern day slavery. Her background working with the U.S. Attorney’s office gave her a lot of experience fight against crimes against humans. She discussed how trafficking affects us locally: from well-known companies that use slaves in production lines, to the sex slavery within Connecticut. Members of our St. Luke's Model UN helped host her and they are also engaged in the effort to combat human trafficking.
St. Luke’s School is a secular (non-religious), private school in New Canaan, CT for grades 5 through 12 serving over 40 towns in Connecticut and New York. Our exceptional academics and diverse co-educational community foster students’ intellectual and ethical development and prepare them for top colleges. St. Luke’s Leading with Humanity curriculum builds the commitment to serve and the confidence to lead.
