On Friday October 8th, Paso Pacifico’s founder and director Sarah Otterstrom was awarded “Outstanding Alumni” at the UC Davis College of Agriculture and Environmental Science’s 22nd annual college celebration. Otterstrom was chosen for her innovative work in bringing together landowners, citizens, and community leaders in conserving wildlife and native plant species in Nicaragua.
The college celebration acknowledged other alumnus and friends of the college whose contributions to communities around the globe enlarge the solid image of UC Davis College of Agriculture and Environmental Science.
“I have taught at UC Davis for 38 years and have known many graduate students. I can say in all honesty that none of them has impressed me so as a person like Sarah has. From our very first contact she was almost overwhelming in her eagerness, her drive, her thirst for knowledge and her desire to serve.” — Arthur M. Shapiro, professor of evolution and ecology
