The Global Engagement Summit (GES), founded by Northwestern students in 2005, is completely student-organized and student-run by a team of 70-80 undergraduates. The Summit is a week-long conference held every April at Northwestern University. Delegates from around the world arrive with change-based projects that can tackle any social change from education to healthcare to sustainability. If their project is in the ideas phase, we help them make their plan a reality. If it's already up and coming, we help them become more impactful.
