Join the Bruin Affiliates for our November luncheon, featuring a presentation by Dr. Sara Safari, president and founder of Climb Your Everest, a non-profit empowering marginalized young women through educational programs.
An award-winning author, professor, and advocate, Dr. Safari's life was profoundly changed by an avalanche on Everest, deepening her resolve to help others face challenges. Her contributions have been recognized with the UN's Global Citizen Award, and she continues to inspire audiences to climb their own "Everests" and make an impact.
Dr. Sara Safari will share her extraordinary journey of climbing the world’s highest peaks to raise awareness for women’s empowerment. From surviving a devastating earthquake on Everest to becoming the first Iranian woman to complete the Seven Summits, Sara translates her mountaineering lessons into powerful insights on resilience and leadership. Through her story and non-profit work, she will inspire the audience to embrace perseverance and reach new summits in their own lives.
