An avid animal rights activist, Silverstone became a vegan in 1998 and has since championed the rights of animals everywhere. Silverstone has been honored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, VegNews Magazine and the Farm Animal Rights Movement.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Global Perspectives Office, sponsors of Silverstone’s presentation include UCF Student Government Association, UCF Office of Undergraduate Studies, Lawrence J.
