Vanderbilt University is hosting the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) annual meeting March 3-5, 2023. I am reaching out to ask for your assistance in sharing the application information with your students.
CGI U recruits a student cohort of young leaders who are committed to developing innovative solutions to the world's most pressing challenges. Each year, undergraduate and graduate students from around the world apply to participate in CGI U's year-round community of learning, leadership and action. The program’s year-round engagement model includes a social impact curriculum, training and mentorship opportunities and a wide range of networking opportunities with CGI U partners, peers, alumni, staff and leaders in the field. President Bill Clinton founded CGI U in 2007, and more than 11,800 students from over 1,800 schools, over 160 countries and all 50 states have participated.
Applications are open now, and the deadline to apply is Friday, December 16. Students pursuing a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree at the time of application are eligible to apply, and student teams of three or fewer are also welcome.
We are asking for your help to encourage your students to apply and to assist us in spreading the word about this wonderful opportunity. We have included some additional resources below, and please contact Jill Stratton with any questions you may have about CGI U: jill.a.stratton@Vanderbilt.
