In its 25th year, as APU gets ready to “Leap Beyond Global”, I urge you all to think of it as more than a slogan. Make it a mindset. As the 2nd term Future Visionary Vice President, I see APU as a living lab where we don’t just learn about the world, we challenge how it works. This year, I want to continue where we left off and turn bold conversations into shared action, and shared action into sustainable change. My vision is to help APU leap into the future as a place where students don’t just fit in, they stand out, lead forward, and shape what’s next. Together, one small step at a time, we can be the change that we want to see. This is not just a leap beyond global, but our leap beyond borders as we Shape our Worlds.
