The CIEE Russia Youth Leadership and Entrepreneurship Virtual Exchange is designed to connect innovative student leaders from Russia and those in the United States. This dynamic exchange will focus on the following key elements:

• Building business and entrepreneurship skills
• Intercultural competency development
• Pushing boundaries in advocacy for inclusion by creating innovation and employment opportunities for people with disabilities

The program will run from February 15 - April 29 (with a one week break in mid-March) this spring. Weekly courses will involve 2-3 hours of interaction, instruction, and project development.

Additionally, Meagan and her GBL classmates participated in a Global Shark Tank competition in partnership with students from Australian Catholic University last fall. She was also part of a Naz GBL student team who participated in ROC the Project, an inter-college competition sponsored by the Project Management Institute.
