Faculty Advisor at Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC)
Here is a personal account of an advisor:
Summertime is often a period packed with excitement and awesome activities for many people. This past summer gave me an opportunity to complete an internship as a Faculty Advisor at Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC) in Washington, D.C. There is nothing more rewarding than having a remarkable impact on the lives of high school students from all over the world. Besides all of this, I had the opportunity to visit about 16 interesting places in both Washington DC and New York, learn a lot about the UN Security Council and WTO Dispute Panel, improve my instructional communication skills and earn money. Envision EMI organizes programs for students with good academic performance and impressive leadership skills. Its mission is to foster and inspire young people to achieve their full leadership potential. One of the conferences organized by Envision EMI, the Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC), is designed to educate, motivate, and inspire students by giving them the opportunity to explore cultural differences firsthand, challenge diplomatic skills daily, build confidence and enhance decision-making skills in an exciting atmosphere that is challenging and fun. Throughout the conference, I was able to assist high school students from all over the world in familiarizing themselves with global issues and challenges, to enhance their cross-cultural communication skills and to improve their leadership skills. This splendid experience has been indelibly chronicled in my mind and I wish all first year graduate students could take advantage of this opportunity.
