" Thomas Edison, America’s greatest inventor, gave teamwork utmost importance. His most notable inventions have been attributed to organized teamwork and collaboration. Edison is known to believe in the potential of creating diverse teams and giving importance to the contributions of each individual team member. If we’re to devise solutions for sustaining human life on this planet, we need to embrace the interconnectedness of our issues and provide spaces for cross-fertilization of ideas.

Therefore, I believe that engaging with a diverse network of students at the Millennium Fellowship will help me expand my understanding of leadership and social impact. Not only will this distinction help me connect with the right people, but will also help me represent a collective mission with other students around me. It is invigorating to have an opportunity to work on social impact with your batchmates on campus, and even more so when you have a nurturing environment at hand. I look forward to being a Millennium Fellow! "
