New Rochelle Grad Focuses Research On 'Good Living'

His studies focus on the need to legitimize alternatives and to create new theoretical tools to combat crisis, according to UAlbany.  Sanchez studies what he calls the philosophy of good living, or being in harmony with nature, the school said. 

“We’re living in an age of crisis,” Sanchez said in a UAlbany press release. “We need to recognize a problem, search for alternatives, and then combine old and new ideas to form new tools to combat these crises.”

Sanchez, who graduated Sunday with majors in Latin American and globalization studies, recently received the Presidential Undergraduate Research Award from UAlbany, just like his father, a two-time UAlbany alumnus. 

Sanchez would eventually like to become a college professor to teach students the same lesson his father taught him: to abandon narrow thinking and expand one’s outlook in order to come up with better solutions, according to UAlbany.

In the meantime, Sanchez will be a research fellow at the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs at Fordham University this summer.
