THE GOLDMAN SACHS FOUNDATION AND THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL
EDUCATION ANNOUNCE U.S. AND CANADIAN WINNERS OF PRESTIGIOUS
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL LEADERS AWARDS
--Lauren Wolfe is One of 20 Undergraduates from U.S. and
Canadian Campuses Recognized in NYC Ceremony--
NEW YORK, April 10, 2003 – Smith College sophomore Lauren
Wolfe was named today as one of only 20 undergraduates from
across the United States and Canada honored as Goldman Sachs
Global Leaders. They are among 100 outstanding second-year
university students from 17 countries who will be recognized
in similar ceremonies around the world this spring.
The Global Leaders were selected on the basis of their outstanding
academic abilities and leadership achievements. Lauren Wolfe,
of Orchard Lake, Michigan, is double majoring in government
and German at Smith. Lauren is the director of the National
High School Model United Nations Conference, and coordinates
a yearly United Nations Environmental Programme in New York
City. She is a political columnist in the Smith College newspaper
and hosts a cooking show on the college TV station. In her
spare time, she is learning to speak Arabic.
The Goldman Sachs Foundation, along with its partner organization,
the Institute of International Education, created the Global
Leaders Program to identify and reward the academic excellence
and leadership potential of 100 of the most accomplished second-year
students to foster their leadership skills and prepare them
for distinctive service to society and their future professions.
The program is open to students at participating colleges
and universities in 17 countries, and honors the achievements
of outstanding young people whose courses of study cover a
broad range of interests, including Africana studies, electrical
engineering, international economics, and Middle East & Asian
Languages and Cultures. In its first two years, the Global
Leaders Program has produced several truly outstanding student
leaders. In the U.S. alone, six of the Global Leaders selected
in the program’s first two years have received Truman, Marshall,
Gates, or Rhodes Scholarships. According to a previous Global
Leader, the GoGldman Sachs Global Leaders Program “has opened
my mind to incredible opportunities; it has instilled in me
the self-confidence that I can do almost anything, anytime,
anywhere if I am truly committed to it.”
Along with the distinction of being selected as “Goldman
Sachs Global Leaders,” the 100 students worldwide will each
receive $3,000 and will be honored in award ceremonies at
which renowned leaders in the public, civic, and private sector
will discuss current leadership challenges.
“The Global Leaders Program exemplifies The Goldman Sachs
Foundation’s mission to support educational innovation and
leadership development,” said Stephanie Bell-Rose, president
of The Goldman Sachs Foundation. “In light of the current
state of the world, we recognize that leadership skills and
global awareness are absolutely critical components of the
educational process. We hope that the experience as a Goldman
Sachs Global Leader will encourage these students to assume
leadership roles that transcend cultural boundaries, and that
the connections they make with other each other will grow
over the years.”
“The Goldman Sachs Global Leaders Program is a model for
how students from all over the world can come together to
learn and collaborate,” said Allan E. Goodman, President and
CEO of the Institute of International Education. “The opportunity
to exchange ideas across borders will prepare these students
to become the kind of world leaders who will bring creative
thinking and problem solving skills as well as a network of
strong relationships to address the political, economic and
social challenges facing the world today.”
Through interviews with a distinguished panel of leaders
from business, government and the nonprofit sector, 10 of
the 20 students (listed above) from U.S. and Canadian universities
will be selected to participate in the Goldman Sachs Global
Leadership Institute in July 2003 in New York City, along
with 40 other students selected internationally this spring.
During the Institute, Global Leaders will have an opportunity
to examine important global issues in a collaborative environment.
Renowned faculty from The Leadership Center at Morehouse College
and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania,
senior Goldman Sachs executives, and leaders from the nonprofit,
business and governmental sectors will lead seminars and foster
discussion.
