Thank you so much to the MIUSA alumni who responded to our survey! If you are a MIUSA alum who hasn't yet responded, there is still time to do so over the weekend! Visit https://www.miusa.org/alumni/ We received responses from people in Nigeria, India, the United States, Peru, Kenya, Ecuador, Germany, Rwanda, Macedonia, Sweden, Armenia, Mongolia, Cameroon, El Salvador, Russia, Mexico, Poland, and more! They represent people who came on MIUSA's very first program in 1983 all the way to our recent programs for high school exchange students, women leaders, professionals and others - and everything in between! They are making exciting contributions to the fields of journalism, podcasting, language translation, disability rights, arts and culture, legislation, parenting, and much much more! As one MIUSA alum from Russia shared: "'Challenge yourself, and change the world'. I first heard these words in the Summer of 1990, in Eugene, Or. And this attitude has been a guiding principle in my life ever since." (fb)
