Incoming Freshman Already Living the Gilmour Mission
Last week, incoming freshman Leah Callitsis, sister of Hallie Callitsis ’20, participated in the Youth Impact Forum at the Model UN in New York City with 18 high school students from around the world. During the experience, they learned skills in “social” entrepreneurship. Leah and a partner are developing a project in which they will partner with the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants to provide backpacks full of educational and hygiene supplies for refugee children entering the country in Cleveland. At the Forum, they were paired with a mentor, a legal industry specialist in London wtih experience in non-profit event planning and migrant integration, who will help them carry out this project. Although Leah and her partner were the youngest students at the Forum, they impressed the organizers with their preparation and how well they presented themselves.
Leah is already living our Gilmour mission and we can’t wait til she arrives on campus this fall! Congratulations, Leah!
