Halfway through Anea Moore’s first semester as a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania, she lost her mother to a heart attack, just months after losing her father to lung disease. Through that grief, she has found a way to heal by reaching out to help others.
Now a sophomore at Penn, Moore’s community-engagement efforts earned her the 2017 Undergraduate Student Award from Penn Women of Color and the Newman Civic Scholars Fellowship.
