Honorable Mention: Entrepreneurial Excellence
How do we want to change the world? Change starts at the individual level, so our hope is to inspire even just one person to get out of his or her comfort zone, travel, and find a new appreciation for the world’s natural beauty and infinite cultures; if we can do that, then we’ve made a difference in this world.
From the judges panel:
“I like their interest in travel and culture, they have great energy and charming personalities. Their social media and entrepreneurial experience is spot on.”
“Nice video quality with the graphics and music. They do a great job of explaining who they are and why they are good for the job. Nice to see they can run a web-based business. Good photos and not too many party pics like many other applicants.”
From our advocates:
“A great pair! It’s impressive that they’ve not only traveled together and shared adventure and volunteer experiences, but also found strengths and skills to complement each other. UPchicago is also a great example of their passion and creativity.”
