Ahana Rosha, president of the Batten Undergraduate Council, shared the goals and mission of Batten Builds in an interview with NBC29 news. ”We really hope to illuminate how to be influential advocates and take action in addressing the issues, rather than just having a nuanced understanding of what’s going on in the community,” Rosha said. “After learning about all of these complex issues, we like to come in and then actually engage and integrate with our community partners.”
