Prior to becoming a law student at BU, Ivana Wijedasa (’26) was a school teacher, where she realized how easy it is for children to be forced out of the school system and to become subject to the prison system.

That’s why, when she decided to run this year’s Boston Marathon, she chose to partner with youthadvocacyfdn, an organization that provides children with access to legal representation and quality education and seeks to end the school-to-prison pipeline. 

“I’m thrilled to be running with a charity that is working towards a world where children can be children and remain in schools, not prisons,” says Wijedasa.
