Johns Hopkins University | Maryland, United States | Advancing SDG 4 & UNAI 3
" My pursuits aim to resolve the issues that my communities and I face; that is what drives me. Through the Millennium Fellowship, I am excited to collaborate with my cohort to fix the problems we've experienced, either first- or second-hand. I am also eager to both learn from and help my peers in their efforts, ultimately working towards the UN SDGs. Being part of a network of change makers is potent, and I look forward to the good that will come of our collective initiative, ideas, and impact. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Postsecondary Achievement Resources for Students Everywhere (PARSE)
PARSE is a web platform with curricula that guide students through the processes of applying to college & medical school (PARSE College, PARSE MD) and completing science-fair-style projects (PARSE Research), all while emphasizing collaboration over competition. It was created to address the disparities present in our educational system, which often prevent under-resourced students from pursuing their dreams. Throughout this Fellowship, we have been able to expand to nearly 5000 users and offer supports tailored to a global audience.
