SENSD Board
Name: Ornella Cosomati
Title: President
Description:

Ornella is a Master student at the London School of Economics studying Politics and Government in the EU. She joined SENSD as one of its first members in 2010 and was SENSD UK Country Coordinator until July 2012, when she became President of the network. With the help of a great team she works hard to raise awareness of environmental issues both within and outside universities. Her slogan “together is better” perfectly encapsulates how she approaches her job at SENSD. Stressing the power behind team working, Ornella is aiming to take SENSD forward to a new stage of development of the organization based on a professional, strong and united cooperation of students. Her multicultural background and her passion for travelling and cultural exchange, made her particularly interested in the different levels of sustainable awareness between and within societies. She does not take anything for granted and she is therefore critical of the traditional stand behind climate change that would leave little hope to react to a Malthusian reality. Instead, she believes in changes, and she sees in SENSD the perfect combination to bring some of those about through student activism at the European level and behind. She believes that empowering students and encouraging them to speak up is the best way towards a more sustainable and equal Europe.
