CIVITAS Intern Spotlight: Sarah Zimmerman


Sarah Zimmerman is a sophomore at Columbia University, majoring in Urban Studies, and concentrating in history and sustainable development.  She is particularly interested in the urbanization and its impact on sustainability.  

Sarah joined CIVITAS as the Columbia Communities in Action intern in spring 2013, where she has been working on a wide range of advocacy and development projects.  She has been especially involved in researching and planning new initiatives for the trees committee, along with contributions to the CIVITAS newsletter, and planning for the 2013 annual benefit. To learn more about Sarah’s work with the trees committee, and upcoming tree stewardship events, visit www.civitasnyc.org/trees.

Although she is still exploring potential career paths, Sarah hopes to pursue her professional interests in planning, architecture, and law when she graduates from Columbia in spring 2015.  In the meanwhile, she spends her free time exploring the city on foot, or hiking and backpacking outside the city.
