" Every movement begins as a discourse within a community. The profound challenges we face in global development and governance urgently require the worldwide collaboration only a truly global discourse can engender. It's our responsibility as a new generation of leaders to build the communities that will cultivate this discourse. I'm motivated to realize the potential of undergraduate networks like the Millennium Fellows to stage a critical intervention into the sustainable development movement by shaping a community of leaders united by the UN Sustainable Development Goals: a genuinely global and democratic agenda for human flourishing. "

We convene virtual events that give undergraduates worldwide direct access to faculty and professionals pursuing cutting-edge research and career opportunities on critical issues of global development, including climate action, international political economy, the Global South, and social entrepreneurship.
