At our Spring 2025 Leadership Retreat, we were excited to welcome three 2025 Obama Scholars to speak about their work and to reflect on their own roles as leaders. The Obama Foundation Scholars Program, launched in 2018, brings to Columbia “rising leaders from around the world who have demonstrated a commitment to finding solutions to challenges in their communities, countries and regions.” (worldprojects.columbia.edu) Thank you to Joséphine Goube, Founder and CEO, Sistech (France); Alex Magu, Kenya. Founder & Executive Director, STEM Impact Center Kenya (Kenya); and Danutcha Catriona Singh, Managing Director, SOLS Foundation (Malaysia) for their candid and inspiring reflections!
The Laidlaw Scholars meet the Obama Scholars!
Leadership happens at the undergraduate level--and beyond!
