Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! The Global Engagement Studies Institute (GESI) is an extremely unique offering at Northwestern: Students undertake a summer internship in locations like Uganda and Costa Rica to join the efforts of local organizations to advance community-driven change. Last year, the Buffett Institute launched the Elliott Scholars Program to further build upon this work. Elliott Scholars take a two-quarter course sequence in international development before participating in GESI. Part 1 Sarah Noramn and Carter Sampson chat with NU IDEas co-host about the impact of the Elliott Scholars Program. From relationship building to developing a deeper knowledge of the development projects, this program has clearly broadened their experience as NU students and readied them to be active members of their wider communities. https://buffett.northwestern.edu/programs/undergraduate-opportunities/elliott-scholars-program/
