Career Pathway Students Take on
Global Issues
International guests came to Kansas City, and their visit
brought an excellent opportunity for students in the
Diploma+ College and Career Pathways program. Three
Kenyan governors attended a Global Economic Summit
with local leaders, and students from Sumner Academy and
F.L. Schlagle High School were able to attend and
participate in their own parallel youth summit. Students
observed a roundtable discussion between the guest
delegation and area healthcare leaders. This allowed
students to see how professionals conduct themselves at
high-level meetings.
“Being able to hear how a real summit goes and how
attendees engage with everyone and ask questions was
veryinteresting,” said Sumner Academy Sophomore
Michelle Aguilera. Students were asked to research and
solve a global problem and present their ideas to the
Kenyan delegation. Students chose concerns surrounding
access to clean water, education, medicine, communication,
and infrastructure.
