FUTURE GLOBAL LEADERS COURSE<br />

George: Let me ask both of you, what types of students can we expect to see<br />
in these programs? Where are they coming from?<br />
Esteban Olivares: Well, students are coming from everywhere. Usually, 40%<br />
of students in Summer Discovery are international students, which is<br />
amazing. Although, when we've had programs in New York City like last<br />
year, we had a lot of local students and a lot of commuters coming in, but we<br />
have students from everywhere, every single state in the country. We also<br />
work with organizations to ensure that we're bringing in students from all<br />
different backgrounds to take a seat at the table and be part of the learning<br />
that happens. Most specifically, there's a student who's going to read that<br />
course description and understand that this is about the UN SDGs and<br />
taking ownership of solving the SDGs. This is the type of student who<br />
understands they're going to inherit this responsibility to build the solutions<br />
to be part of that framework. I can be a lawyer, I can be a doctor, I can be a<br />
teacher, but I have a responsibility. So there's going to be those students who<br />
want to come and do it and to be amongst other students who are thinking<br />
about this, who are living and breathing this throughout the year, who are<br />
already building awareness about the UN SDGs. Maybe you're the only one<br />
in your neighborhood or the only one in your school, or the only one in your<br />
family who's really talking about this. You're constantly bringing this up to<br />
be around other students who are all excited about it. To have that<br />
community of people for the first time is an amazing experience. That's the<br />
type of student who's going to come and thrive in that course.<br />
George: And how can this be beneficial for college candidacy<br />
