Summer 2026 Cohort Global Fellow Testimonials
“I used to think leadership meant guiding others from the front. Now I think leadership also includes supporting people behind the scenes and making things happen.” — Summer 2026 Global Fellow, New York University
“I used to think that taking initiative meant waiting for the perfect time or the right permission. Now I think initiative is about seeing what needs to be done and stepping up before anyone asks.” — Summer 2026 Global Fellow, New York University
“I used to think since I am young, I should be focusing on myself. Now I realize I can invest in others, support them, and take on a role of mentorship as well as leadership.” — Summer 2026 Global Fellow, The Catholic University of America
“I learned the importance of active listening. It is a way to show respect and understanding. It helps us exchange ideas effectively and build trust with each other.” — Summer 2026 Global Fellow, Dulwich International High School Suzhou, China
