21st Century Leaders

Today’s highlights Melanie Harper, a graduate of Marist School (2024) and a pre-med student at the University of Georgia.

Melanie shares about how being part of 21st Century Leaders helped her establish practical, effective leadership skills, identify the industry in which she will thrive, and opportunities to step up as an inclusive leader in real-world environments.

“Thanks to 21CL's independent study modules and exposure to big corporation leaders, I built a solid "toolkit of skills" that made me a better citizen, a trusted leader, and ready to succeed in life.”

We're just over two weeks away from our summer leadership institutes with nearly 300 students from across Georgia! Last month, students attending all four of our summer institutes gathered for a Summer Orientation to build community, learn about their institute, and connect with peers.

- Our Youth Ambassadors led a teambuilding session which included writing encouraging notes for students attending other institutes
- 21CL 101 let students know about what to expect this summer and beyond with our year-round programs
- Admissions teams from our summer host campuses shared about their institutions. Thank you to the reps from Emory University, GA Tech, and Kennesaw State University
- Members of our Summer Leadership Team (all 21CL alumni!) + Alumni Board helped lead ice breaker games

Thank you, Georgia Power, for hosting us!

We're looking forward to June!
