Ms. Brooks is a Business Development Leader that currently works as a Sr. Business Development Manager at Nickol Global Solutions. She gave an engaging lecture to all of the students, introducing us to the concept of marketing. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">We were given the unique opportunity to be paired with a developing business in Bauchi State, Nigeria. The business partner, Hussaini Usman, had a tailoring business that recently burned down in a fire this year.

The marketing teams created marketing materials including business cards, flyers, and signs. The infrastructure teams created plans for Shop Renovation, Shop redesign, and financial tracking. Then we presented out proposals to a panel of judges and received funding to implement our ideas.<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"wp-block-bplugins-custom-html\" id='bPluginsCustomHtml-1'>\n    <div class=\"embebed\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1FbFyLaNSgG_FLsODZDQ67MjOacLrj6X7\/preview\"><\/iframe><\/div>    <\/div>\n    \r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wp-block-bplugins-custom-html\" id='bPluginsCustomHtml-2'>\n    <div class=\"embebed\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1f43EfkfYTQPTj774liftD3zfTCT9giIw\/preview\"><\/iframe><\/div>    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-atbs-tab atbs__tab-panel\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"Medicine &amp; Public Health\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0015_GBeatrice-Med.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8332 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">During the Medicine and Public Health day, we learned about the concept of WASH in schools in Nigeria from Ms. Faith Blapooh. Faith worked as a social worker for the United Nations WASH Campaign in various countries around the world including Nigeria and Liberia. Ms. Blapooh taught us about implementing Water, Sanitation and Hygiene campaigns and how they can be used to improve general health in rural communities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">We created workshops to teach students in Nigeria the importance of hygiene. Some of the workshops included Brushing Teeth, Menstrual Hygiene, Washing Hands, etc. We presented our workshops to a panel of judges and made plans to have the workshops implemented the following year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">Outside of our WASH Campaigns, we got the opportunity to learn how to build plaster Casts and conduct emergency triage.

The International Spy Museum is a non-profit museum documenting the tools, practices, and stars of espionage \u2013 all with interactive exhibits I used as an introduction to security and intelligence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">We met with many experts in the field of national security, including Chris Fox, who has served in the United States Government for 15 years and currently serves as a Political Officer in the State Department, and Ben Taylor, a former White House Director of Counterterrorism Strategy. He showed us various jobs in intelligence through a simulation where we stopped an attack on U.S. soil! After meeting Mr. Fox, we learned about real-life experiences in the field of intelligence from a panel of experts \u2013 Anand Arun, a Senior Intelligence Officer and Deputy Research Director at the DIA, Ashliyn Burgos, a current master\u2019s student of Security Studies concentrating in Terrorism and Substate Violence at Georgetown University, and Matthew Brodman, an official in the Department of Homeland Security and a director of a DHS field office. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">We put all of our knowledge to use by creating security protocols for various emergencies for Borno State University in Borno State, Nigeria. We worked in teams to create flyers to hang around Borno State University\u2019s campus and inform students on what to do in the event of an emergency. We presented in front of a panel of judges for the chance of receiving a grant to implement the security protocol we created!<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"wp-block-bplugins-custom-html\" id='bPluginsCustomHtml-4'>\n    <div class=\"embebed\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1LziTLj9fLx8l6AxlRH-z23zrLpBXanOp\/preview\"><\/iframe><\/div>    <\/div>\n    \r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wp-block-bplugins-custom-html\" id='bPluginsCustomHtml-5'>\n    <div class=\"embebed\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1k1MtZtpI4pINto_EmQZmj3SveUEbpfC_\/preview\"><\/iframe><\/div>    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-atbs-tab atbs__tab-panel\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"Law &amp; Advocacy\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0015_GBeatrice-Law.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8337 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">We started our day with a keynote on law and advocacy from Maggie Birkel, the deputy director at the Second Look Project (\u201cSLP\u201d), which provides legal representation to those seeking relief from extreme sentences they received as young people in Washington, D.C. After, improved our public speaking and presentation skills, two critical skills in the field of law and advocacy, with Cynthia Goode-Works, the Director of the Stephen S. Weinstein Advocacy Program at the Washington College of Law at the American University.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">We continued our exploration into law and advocacy by departing for the University of Maryland\u2019s Crime Lab, where we learned about criminal justice, forensics, and the progression from crime scene to courtroom. Dr. Tom Mauriello, a Senior Lecturer and Laboratory Instructor at the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice for the past 45 years, presented on all the different careers in criminology and even showed us a crime scene recreation that university students use for simulations!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:17px;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.2\">We jumped right back into law and advocacy with Adam Hunter, a founding member of the law firm Hunter and Johnson, PLLC and an adjunct professor at Howard University School of Law. He lectured about cross examination performed in trials, which we applied in a mock trial. We crossed examined witnesses in two different mock court cases, played by our very own team leads! <\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light jumpstart-embeded is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\" style=\"min-height:50px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7821","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v15.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>JumpstartGBeatrice - Leadership Initiatives<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/jumpstartgbeatrice\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"JumpstartGBeatrice - Leadership Initiatives\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/jumpstartgbeatrice\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Leadership Initiatives\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-07-24T04:49:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jumpstart-logo-min.png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"5 minutes\">\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/\",\"name\":\"Leadership Initiatives\",\"description\":\"Programs That Inspire Students To Transform The World\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/?s={search_term_string}\",\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en\"},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/jumpstartgbeatrice\/#primaryimage\",\"inLanguage\":\"en\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jumpstart-logo-min.png\",\"width\":975,\"height\":240},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/jumpstartgbeatrice\/#webpage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/jumpstartgbeatrice\/\",\"name\":\"JumpstartGBeatrice - Leadership Initiatives\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/jumpstartgbeatrice\/#primaryimage\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-06-05T19:37:45+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-07-24T04:49:34+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/jumpstartgbeatrice\/\"]}]}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7821"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10254,"href":"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7821\/revisions\/10254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lichangesummer.org\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
