As college students, our influence is perhaps small, but if we do not act, who else will?

The light of a single star is dim, but maybe together we can create a galaxy that illuminates our world. 

Our talented teammates brought infinite inspiration and hope to this newfound organization. Some are passionate about human rights, some are interested in international policies, and some dedicate to writing and storytelling — but all of them are ready to make a positive impact.
