Scholar Highlights

Vision Network

Scholars work alongside university students to create enriching opportunities for high school students. This connection includes college and medical school students.

Professional Development

Begin taking the steps toward your desired career or discover those interests through the program. Students will learn about resume and cover letter writing, communication courtesy, and interview strategies. We'll try and connect you with students who can give you insight into requirements and acommplishments. Vision's base is Harvard College where our undergraduate students plan the annual Global Health and Leadership Conference. Our Founder is a current Medical Student at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Academic Curricula

Our goal is to provide a holistic program. Students will engage with several activities such as essay writing, content review, and exams to improve essay writing, reading comprehension, and analytic ability.

Community Projects

Students lead an evidence-based intervention, write a report published in our booklet, and present their work at the annual conference.

Bi-directional Mentoring

Students not only receive mentoring but aim to create opportunities for other students as well whether that be through tutoring, workshops, or running a student organization.

Narrative Presentations

Scholars work to provide others with a voice. Students will expand to the medical humanities to understand and share the stories of others in a medical context. This includes writing, photography, and cinematography.

Research & Discovery

Scholars aim to not only impact communities but also consolidate or expand on knowledge to others. Scholars will conduct Comparative Analyses and Literature Reviews to expose them to the world of research.

Fundraising

A useful skill for running a program is knowing how to raise money to effectively operate. Learn how to advertise, approach, and thank your donors. Students will fundraise for a cause of their choice. If students create a student organization, they can fundraise to provide their group with a budget.
