Students Cited As Future Leaders (NAPSA)—As the worlds of business and politics change, so do the demandsof leadership. Due to shortages of welltrained leaders who can function effectively in complex, technologydriven environments and in varied cultural settings, new approaches are required to prepare young people for the demandsof a changing world. In an effort to promote the development of future global leaders, The Goldman Sachs Foundation has instituted a program that identifies 100 college students of exceptional promise. Students applied from 54 institutions in Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. From the applicants, one hundred students were recognized as Goldman Sachs Global Leaders. The top fifty of these students were given the distinction of “top honors” and had the opportunity to participate in the Goldman Sachs Global Leaders Institute. The program is managed by the same organization that manages the Fulbright program for the U.S. Department of State—the Institute of International Education. Among the 50 “top honors” winners worldwide, the 10 U.S. “top honors” students are: Lillian Liang Zhao, Providence, RI, Brown University; Jessica Beard, Houston, Texas, Columbia University; Jonathan Pollard, Fayetteville, PA, Cornell University; Syed Atif Ansar, Islamabad, Pakistan, Georgetown University; Lisa Schwartz, East Hills, NY, Harvard University; Vincent Indelicato, Staten Island, NY, Haverford College; Marianna Ofosu, Bethesda, MD, Howard University; Fulton Eaglin, Ann Arbor, MI, Morehouse College; David Levin, Dallas, TX, University of Pennsylvania; and Chesa Gilbert Boudin, Chicago, IL, Yale University. | BO ge Students from around the world recently attended the Goldman Sachs Global LeadersInstitute aimed at developing leaders for the New Economy.
