Hey!

Here's an opportunity that we think many SAIS students may be interested in:

The Israel-Asia Center is launching a new leadership program this summer. The Innovative Leadership for the 21st century program is a transformative 1-week leadership program and an intensive high-level knowledge-sharing, culturally immersive and networking experience designed for Asian university students, recent graduates and young professionals.

The program also provides participants with an optional summer internship component at an Israeli company, following the program.

Further details can be found on our website: http://israelasiacenter.org/israel-asia-innovative-leadership-for-the-21st-century/?fbclid=IwAR2P6o5v1If1L6wQ2rILCCKNdGtG4BZVaJdFP_fqIwefp5Uq5UmLzK6S1Ks

If you have any questions, please reach out to Lee Jaeeun
