From Rochester to public impact.
Meet Ana María Buriticá Alzate, Class of 2000, a Rochester alumna whose career has been dedicated to connecting local realities with global opportunities.
With more than 17 years of experience in international cooperation, urban management, knowledge management, human rights, and public policy, Ana María currently leads knowledge management initiatives at Bogotá’s Secretariat for Women — using research, data, and evidence to support decisions that can transform lives.
For Ana María, Rochester helped shape a deep sense of responsibility, autonomy, empathy, and purposeful leadership.
Her message to today’s students is simple and powerful: stay curious, act with purpose, keep learning, and never lose the joy that art and sports can bring to life.
We are proud to celebrate alumni who lead with knowledge, humanity, and impact.
