" "I strongly believe in Lead From Where You Are, and I want to contribute my share to our Planet NOW, as saving the planet is no longer a choice, but a necessity for our generation. I also believe being a Millennium Fellow is an opportunity for me to make a positive change through working on the Sustainable Development Goals, by helping me better understand the issues and coming up with possible solutions. I look forward to peer discussions and the exchange of ideas that come with the Fellowship." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Campus Keepers
Our college consists of a lot of migrant workers who work in a variety of fields like gardening, cleaning, security, food, etc. However, they are not the only migrants on campus, as many faculty members are also migrants. We observe a massive difference between how these people are treated and viewed by both the management and students. This creates a hierarchy of jobs. We would like to interview as many people as possible to understand the issue. It would help us analyze the extent and causes and come up with solutions. We want to make a difference in society by first making a difference in the society we live in.
