Spaces are still available for Global Leadership, Local Impact, a weeklong leadership event that will bring students from around the world to University of Detroit Mercy\u2019s McNichols Campus.<\/p>\n
The summit runs July 6-14 and is a collaboration between the University\u2019s College of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences and Detroit-based Young People Global Edge.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis summit is more than an event\u2014it\u2019s a movement,\u201d said\u00a0Sanya Weston, founder of Young People Travel Global Edge. \u201cOur young people are not waiting for opportunities; they are creating them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Summit events include entrepreneurship and career development led by industry experts, college readiness workshops, cultural immersion projects, community impact service activities, networking opportunities with local and global business leaders and a gala celebration.<\/p>\n
Weston is working in collaboration with Lara Wasner, Detroit Mercy\u2019s Language & Cultural Training Program director, whose work at the University helps prepare students to become global ambassadors through international travel experiences.<\/p>\n
High school students and teachers are coming from metro Detroit, across the United States, Tanzania and Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis pre-college summit helps expose students to one another in this understanding in ways that shape tomorrow’s leaders with these strong values,\u201d Weston said.<\/p>\n
