SUMMARY:2024 Visionary Student Panel Showcase
DESCRIPTION:If you could wave a magic wand and fix one problem in your community\, what would it be? \nSince 2015\, Mercer undergraduates on the Macon campus have been tackling this question via the Visionary Student Panel (VSP) program. Through VSP\, students receive coaching to support their development of a 5-minute project pitch that addresses a real-world problem at the local or regional level. Following the VSP showcase\, participating students can apply for mini-grant funding from the Center for Engaged Learning. With continued coaching and mentorship\, funded projects will be implemented during the 2024-25 academic year. \nOur 2024 VSP Presenters are Aarushi Verma\, Aditya Vayalapalli\, Aleem Patni\, Bekehm Mohn\, Callie Lowery\, Manas Patel\, Raina Singhal\, Sanjna Desai\, Savannah French\, Shan Khan\, Sreeja Pandiri\, and Zachary Carman.
