[Announcement from VCPE-PUBLICENGAGE-L@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU]
Greetings from Northwestern University!
My name is Joni Cooper, and I am a co-chair for the American
Delegates team of the Global Engagement Summit (GES) at Northwestern
University. GES is a five-day capacity-building summit that brings together
some of the most influential leaders in the realm of social change to lead
workshops, give short talks, and provide one-on-one mentorship that empowers
our delegates to implement their own change-based projects.
We are now accepting applications for the 2015 Global Engagement
Summit, and believe the students your university reaches would be a great fit
for this opportunity. We would greatly appreciate your help in forwarding the
following message to any students passionate about effecting change in areas
such as social justice, community development, social entrepreneurship, or
global issues.
Thank you in advance for your help!

GES is a five-day capacity-building summit for students
committed to social change in their communities and around the world.
Accepted delegates come together to develop the skills to better plan,
execute, and participate in change-based projects. GES focuses not only
on the “what” and “how,” but also challenges delegates to think
critically about the goals, impact, and broader implications of their
project.
We bring some of the most influential leaders in the realm
of social change to lead workshops and talks and provide one-on-one
mentorship that empowers our delegates to implement their own ideas for
social change. Past facilitators and speakers have come from diverse
backgrounds and organizations such as Ashoka, IDEO, Unreasonable
Institute, GOOD Magazine, and Move This World, among many others.
All delegates will also be encouraged to apply for a
variety of “Outcome Opportunities” to help advance their projects after
the Summit, which have in the past included fundraising support, pro bono
consultations, media coverage and more.
The 2015 summit will take place April 15 - 19. Check
out our brochure and video for a
glimpse into the experience you could have as an American Delegate.
We look forward to working with you!
