We are proud to offer the McCall MacBain Foundation Leadership Development Program at EPFL, helping students grow into responsible scientists, researchers, and leaders committed to shaping a better future. 🌍✨ Congratulations to the 2024 cohort for their creativity, commitment, and drive to make a difference in society. 👏🚀 Discover more about this inspiring initiative below. ⬇️
On May 6, the McCall MacBain Leadership Development Program Project Presentation Evening brought together nearly 90 guests at EPFL to discover the inspiring community projects developed by the 2024 cohort. A part of the EPFL Student Support Program and sponsored by the McCall MacBain Foundation, this program helps BSc. Excellence Fellows develop their leadership potential, community engagement, and commitment beyond the classroom. This year, students presented 24 projects reflecting their ambition to make a meaningful impact on society. Among them: 🔬 A science communication initiative making complex topics - including CERN’s future particle collider project near Geneva - more accessible to young people and non-scientific audiences. 🤝 A collaboration with Fondation Le Relais to develop a multilingual chatbot helping vulnerable individuals more easily access appropriate social support services. Managed by the EPFL Education Outreach Department (SPE), this initiative is part of EPFL’s enhanced learning initiatives supporting students in developing their scientific curiosity, interdisciplinary interests, technological and transversal skills to contribute positively to society. Our sincere thanks to the McCall MacBain Foundation, and congratulations to the 2024 cohort for their inspiring work! ➡️Discover the McCall MacBain Leadership Development Program: https://lnkd.in/eAydhVYT ➡️Learn more about the Student Support Program: https://lnkd.in/e7SxFPwd
