Amy Linn O’Sullivan epitomized a life fully lived with courage and delight, no matter the effort or obstacle. A graduate of UHCL with a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science in 2002 and a Mater of Arts in Multicultural Studies in 2004, unfortunately, her life ended too soon. In her 31 years, she packed more passion, intelligence, curiosity, activism and adventure into her life than most, and all along the way, she learned and shared with others. To honor her work, her life and her causes, her family established the Amy O’Sullivan Memorial Student Experience Fund.
