The summer before my Junior year, I participated in Brown University's Leadership and Global Engagement program for students interested in diplomacy, international relations, and global affairs.
We explored complex international issues including security and terrorism, trade, human rights, environmental challenges, and other issues related to sustainable development. Through our experiential curriculum, which included current case studies, simulations, role-plays, deliberations, panel discussions, and group projects, we learned about the major players in world affairs, including the United States and the European Union, the United Nations and the World Bank.

The capstone project was to develop an Action Plan, enabling us to apply what we learned at Brown in our home communities. I constructed a plan to address a pressing issue that I care about: poverty. I created my plan, presented it to my peers and professors at Brown, and then applied my plan when I returned home (see my volunteer work under the ACTIVISM tab). My Action Plan is shown below, as well as on Brown's Leadership Institute Action Plan web page.
