Tuesday evening, Global Peace Exchange Director, Alex Merkovic, spoke to an enthusiastic group of Northwestern Students regarding their annual Global Engagement Summit (held this year in April). As an alumni of GES last year, Alex explained the crucial role the summit played in helping make last year’s GPE trip to Ghana possible. In addition, the GES staff discussed the possibilities of coming to Tallahassee for the upcoming UNAOC-themed conference, Building Bridges, to be held at FSU this coming February. Dozens of students expressed an interest and commitment to apply as delegates to the conference.
Northwestern’s Center for Global Engagement also runs the ENGAGE Uganda program, a hybrid service/study abroad program that has NU students working on sustainable development projects all around Uganda for the summer. GPE plans on working with ENGAGE Uganda in a cross-border partnership during GPE’s two-month stay in Rwanda.
