" "From the overlap between academic disciplines, art, and human experiences rises critical conversations painted in complexity and contradiction. Actively seeking these discussions, I found the Millennium Fellowship: a central hub for young minds to engage in lively collaboration aimed at universal progress. The exchanges I am excited to have will ground my present and future research in nuance. I am both eager and honord to have the opportunity to deepen my involvement in the UN's SDGs and gain an understanding of my global peers." "

About the Millennium Fellow
Sydney Nguyen Chen is an enthusiastic, creative, and curious pre-law student at Duke University where she is studying Global Health and Biology. Her hometown in Northern Virginia offers easy access to D.C. where she loves to visit museums and be at the pulse of American politics. Proximity to D.C. inspired Sydney to think of her place in the global community, sparking a passion for social issues and international affairs. Starting in high school, Sydney has united members of her school, local, and state to advocate for legislation to several social issues. More than a leader, Sydney values listening to the lived experiences of others to expand her world view. In college, she continued this passion for multiculturalism and uplifiting others through researched policy through multiple avenues during the school year and over the summer. Sydney hopes to nurture these budding convictions and apply them to the United Nations' Sustainable Goals: a journey that will no doubt launch her into becoming an informed citizen of the world.
