Lori Saroya

2014 Bush Fellow

  1. Term: 24 months

Lori Saroya co-founded the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Minnesota (CAIR-MN), the state’s only Muslim civil rights and legal advocacy organization, when she was a senior in college. Six years later, Lori’s vision is to create a society where American Muslims and other racial minorities are treated with dignity and respect in the workplace, at school and in the community. The Bush Fellowship will allow Lori the opportunity to pursue a master’s in nonprofit management, as well as explore how other organizations similarly situated to CAIR-MN are run.
