Undergraduate Scholars Share Their Vision
by Polo Mwonyonyi

“And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”
John F. Kennedy, Inaugural address, 20 Jan. 1961

Many people assume that my twenty-something generation is selfish, or just apathetic towards issues that don't concern our immediate surroundings. I disagree with this assumption, and now I have some proof. I've just met some of my fellow David L. Boren Scholarship recipients for the coming school year, and I found a group distinguished by their global focus and commitment to service.

Looking at my global classmates, it was refreshing to notice the same magic twinkle of risk-taking ambition in their eyes, and the confident vision they had of making a difference in the world.
