Rose Hopman from the Longmont Twin Peaks Rotary Club wants EHS students to know that they are extending an invitation to SVVSD high school students to apply for a unique educational leadership experience. Their club would like to sponsor a student interested in attending the World Affairs Seminar 2023 on “Climate Change: Youth Take Action”.
The 2023 World Affairs Seminar is from Saturday, June 24 – Friday, June 30th at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin. This seminar is for students who fit the following criteria:
- Students must be between the ages of 16-18.
- Must have completed their sophomore, junior, or senior year in high school.
- Are in good academic standing.
- Have an interest in global issues and building a strong portfolio for college and future careers.
- Can be endorsed by a school official as a student in good academic standing, with integrity, maturity, and a sincere desire to participate in the unique educational opportunity.
They would like students that are interested to write a short essay expressing their interest and how they feel they could benefit from attending the 2023 World Affairs Seminar. They would also request that the student(s) awarded a scholarship give a presentation detailing their experience to our rotary group upon their return.
All essays should be returned to the Longmont Twin Peaks Rotary Club by March 31, 2023 to allow time to process and select a candidate. (After a candidate is selected by the Longmont Twin Peaks Rotary Club he or she will be required to complete a World Affairs Seminar application. Airfare to and from Wisconsin, lodging and meals are included with this Rotary sponsorship.)
This amazing opportunity has been described by many past participants as a “life-changing experience” so they would like to reach as many deserving students as possible.
