"At first sight, I knew SEGL (The School for Ethics & Global Leadership in Washington, DC) was a program that could forever revolutionize my life by instilling within me the morals and leadership skills that I would need to succeed not only in the professional, but also in the personal. I took a chance and decided to apply, despite not being super confident I'd be admitted. Now, as I sit here waiting for my semester at SEGL to begin, I'm extremely glad that I decided to apply. I'd like to note that SEGL is for sure not your traditional classroom. Imagine being assigned a research report over Ebola and instead of jumping to your laptop to begin to research, you begin to plan your meeting with the South African Embassy! Instead of reading about native Americans ceremonies in your textbook, imagine being a part of one. SEGL offers all of these wonderful opportunities and so much more. Take it from a fellow student when I say this is truly an opportunity you can't pass up."
