[Y STORIES] Diane Marlin: "The Battle to Save the Park"

Diane Marlin, a Students for Environmental Concerns (SECs) alumnae, shares her Y Story, "The Battle to Save the Park." Diane's story is one of the earliest stories of how SECs got the ball rolling here at the Y as well as how the Y has shaped her life in meaningful ways.  

Y Stories is a part of the YMCA's celebration of 140 years of engaging people in service, reflection, and action.  Since 1873, the University YMCA has sponsored programs, organizations, and activities dedicated to building a better world, better human relations, and better care for the Earth.  

As part of this celebration, we would like to acknowledge stories of University YMCA alumni and friends in order to commemorate our lasting legacy. We would love to hear your Y story, because we believe that the power of storytelling is when people say "me too."
