Testimonials
"It is rare that students are asked to look at a real world problem and come up with their own solution. The World Affairs Challenge helps students realize that we live in a global community."
-Chris Elnicki, Middle School Teacher
"…At Rice University I got involved with a program that delivers medical devices to low resource countries…worked in Malawi…I'm currently doing a semester abroad program in Singapore…WAC helped me to find my passion…"
-Emily J., WAC Participant, Rice University Student
World Affairs Challenge allowed me a platform to think and act outside of my comfort zone; I was pushed to be creative, thoughtful and innovative. An opportunity not afforded to me much outside of World Affairs Challenge; I was involved in trying to solve issues that were supposed to be beyond my scope, as a high school student. Though I did not study globalization or water sanitation or energy after high school, I became globally aware and grasped the idea of action at a young age. I believe that these values I obtained through World Affairs Challenge pushed me to become active in GlobeMed as a college student and will keep pushing me to think and act critically, creatively and collaboratively.
