Encinal Alum Sara Heaps Named 2008 Goldman Sachs Global Leader

Sara Heaps, a 2006 graduate of Encinal High School, had been chosen as one of only 16 second-year college students in the nation to be named into the Goldman Sachs Foundation Global Leader Program for 2008. Students must go through an extensive application process and be nominated by their college in order to be considered by the Goldman Sachs Foundation. The award honors academic achievement and demonstrated leadership potential.

Sara is currently in her second year at Stanford University, Class of 2010, working toward a degree in Human Biology with a self-designed major of "Implications of Policy, Philanthropy and the Nonprofit Sector on Human Rights". After attending the award ceremonies in New York City on April 10-12, Sara was chosen as one of 10 students from the United States and Canada to join 65 international students attending this year's Goldman Sachs Global Leadership Institute for a week in July, 2008 in New York City. At the Institute, they will engage in meaningful dialogue with experts from the private, public and nonprofit sectors about their own leadership roles and critical global issues such as environmentalism and emerging markets.

Another New Parking Garage for Alameda?

Following is a press release from Action Alameda:

Did anyone else catch the clause proposing a new parking garage at Buena Vista and Park Street, in the Park Street North of Lincoln Strategies document? Once again, the City of Alameda’s efforts are in conflict with themselves - the report talks about creating “an active pedestrian environment” and supporting “the Community’s Vision for pedestrian-oriented development” and creating “support for transit uses.” But then they go on to suggest a new parking structure for automobiles.
