Caroline Holguin, ’10 participated in the Global Young Leaders Conference (GYLC) this summer. This is a unique leadership development program for high-achieving students organized by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council that brings together outstanding young people from around the world to construct critical leadership skills in a global context. Over the thirteen days at GYLC, Caroline explored Central and Eastern Europe (Vienna, Budapest, & Prague), uncovering the challenges of global leadership, engaging in fast-paced experiential simulations and honing her leadership skills. Highlights from Caroline’s experience include:

* guided explorations of Europe’s most beautiful and historic city centers, with an emphasis on past leaders and their continuing influence on contemporary Europe.
