World Affairs Seminar students

 

Four New Berlin students headed to the World Affairs Seminar in June visited us on March 25. Our club is proud to again sponsor two New Berlin high school students to that prestigious event. (The School District of New Berlin sponsors the other two.) Pictured are Margaret C. and Megan W. from New Berlin Eisenhower and Manisha V. and Pranay V. from New Berlin West.

 

World Affairs Seminar is an initiative of Rotary District 6270, which comprises most of the clubs in Wisconsin. These events are designed to create global leaders and citizens through an international seminar with an innovative, rigorous program. The course is held at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wis., and involves high school students from across the US and around the world. The theme for this year's program, which runs June 20-26, is "Global Energy: Who's Got The Power?"

 

All the students are juniors. Each spoke about what to expect from the seminar.

 

Margaret: Her favorite subjects are Spanish and Geography, so she's looking forward to meeting students from other countries. Hopes to learn from them and bring ideas back with her.

 

Megan: The topic is appropriate. Her interest is energy, and is planning a career in environmental energy.

 

Manisha: Interested in meeting students from around the US and other parts of the world. Hopes to bring some lessons back to the community.

 

Pranay: Also looking forward to meeting other students. Hopes to learn more about alternative power sources, a keen interest of his.

 

These students will return on July 22 to discuss what impact the seminar had on them. We wish them the best.
