Students Celebrate President Clinton’s 65th Birthday with
Cake and Social Media
August 9, 2011 – Captivated by President Clinton’s Clinton Global Initiative University (CGIU) meeting, 11 students from around the world have come together to inspire and engage young people from all walks of life.
Four years ago at the Apollo Theater in New York City, one statement would come to empower and inspire millions of young people around the world. Announcing to the world the establishment of the Clinton Global Initiative University meeting (CGIU), President Clinton said, “Young people today have more power to change the world for the better than at any time in human history.”
Since its inception, the Clinton Global Initiative University has served as a forum for students to connect and engage with one another as well as experts in various fields to discuss and develop solutions to many pressing issues. Each passing of the now annual CGIU meeting provides further testament that young people truly do have the power to make a significant impact when we confront pressing challenges.
At this past April’s CGIU meeting, held at the University of California, San Diego, the true testament of the power of young people came when 11 of those student attendees came together to create the an initiative known as “Re-Envision Your Future”.
One of these students includes St. Thomas University’s own Steeve Simbert. Steeve, a young Haitian who recently moved to Miami, is a rising sophomore double majoring in Global Leadership and Political Science.
"Re-Envision Your Future" is a blog, inspired by President Clinton's vision, that will feature articles, how- to's, videos, and other resources to promote and support student and community activism and social entrepreneurship. While this team of students comes from different backgrounds, regions, and cultures, they are brought together by their passion of inspiring others to do better.
This blog will serve as a platform for the 11 students to collaborate and engage with young people and fellow students worldwide, helping them realize and achieve their potential.
"Re-Envision Your Future” was launched on August 19th, 2011 to mark and celebrate President Bill Clinton's 65th birthday, as a thank you for the support that his CGIU initiative has brought and inspired. Visit http://reenvision.tumblr.com
