Student Notes
Three "emerging leaders"
selected
Three LBJ School students were accepted to participate in
the 1999 Emerging Leaders Program of the National
Congress for Community Economic
Development.
First-year student Greg Pulliam and second-year students Jared Llorens and Yuki Miyamoto made a field of 50 students chosen for the program's career exploration track. Another 25 students make up a skills development track.
Held in Washington, D.C., during March, the leadership training program coincided with the Washington Policy Conference on Community Economic Development.
Rincón wins prestigious
fellowship
First-year student Mark Ramírez Rincón was
selected by the U.S. State Department to participate in the
prestigious Graduate Foreign Affairs Fellowship Program. He
was one of 10 students selected nationwide to participate in
the program and the only student chosen from the state of
Texas.
As part of the fellowship, Rincón will intern this summer with the State Department in Washington, D.C. After graduation he will intern overseas and then become a Foreign Service officer.
Rincón also is the recipient of a Rotary International Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship, which will allow him to study abroad for a year.
