Twenty Six BRAC University Students Selected for 2024 Millennium Fellowship
Twenty-six undergraduate students from BRAC University have been selected by the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) and Millennium Campus Network (MCN) to join the Millennium Fellowship class of 2024.
The Millennium Fellowship is a global, semester-long program, designed for undergraduate students who are enthusiastic about creating a social change. It helps in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UNAI principles both in communities and on campus. The UNAI collaborates with higher education institutions and research worldwide to further the awareness of objectives and goals set by the UN. From different universities, students cooperate to form teams to put forward community service projects that align with one or more of the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The Class of 2024 is set to collectively achieve all 17 Sustainable Development Goals and all 10 UNAI Principles through their projects. The 26 Millennium Fellows from BRAC University in the Class of 2024 are engaged in many projects including:
- Saving the marine life
- Preventing youth from drug abuse
- Reviving EcoFlow to increase access to clean water and better sanitation
- Ensuring the quality of meat and contamination- Raising voices to reduce gender stereotypes
- Eliminating hunger among mass
- Reducing the consumption and business of animal skin leather
- Providing quality education for children
- Taking the initiative to better the youth
- Cleaning up streets to help street animals achieve a healthy life
- Developing actions that would save the climate from further destruction
- Spreading optimism among people for a healthy well-being
- Creating a space where people can discuss about the climate informally
As BracU’s bright minds embark on this semester-long leadership journey, one of the participants shared true insights on how they feel about their selection and their journey so far. Lamisa Manha (Senior, MNS) says,”The Millennium Fellowship is an amazing opportunity to connect with people who want to make a real difference. Through my project, EcoFlow Revive, I aim to raise awareness about water conservation and provide practical education on sanitation. I want to make a meaningful change in my local community and create a lasting impact by improving people’s health and quality of life through my work.”
We congratulate all of the Millenium fellows this wonderful opportunity to be a part of something which will contribute in changing our world for the better.
