Speaking Engagements

Part of my role as an "Ambassador" for Rotary includes pre-departure presentations to Rotarians in my sponsor district, district 6990, about my scholarship. I will be visiting the following clubs to talk about my award:

South Miami- May 16th
Miami Granada- May 17th
Key Biscayne- May 19th
Miami Dadeland-Pinecrest- May 22nd
Weston Bonaventure- May 23rd
Surfside Bal Harbour- May 25th



Before I depart, I will complete a total of 12 presentations to local Rotary groups. I have business cards to hand out (see below) and banners to collect- 4-6 banners from each club I visit, to exchange with clubs in my host district in Hungary and surrounding countries.

CEU Acceptance Letter

Good news! My much-anticipated and long-awaited acceptance letter from the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest came via email on April 26th. The university received more than 3000 applications from students in over 100 countries for a very limited number of spots (there are less than 50 students in the entire public policy program, for example!). They also awarded me a "partial" scholarship which will cover full tuition, room and board and health insurance, valued at approximately $15,000 USD. Yipee! I also got an application in to the Hungarian Ministry of Education for a scholarship to cover language training for 3-4 weeks in August-September before classes start.
