These student winners represent the many students in Georgia who are growing into global professionals, and who are ready to bring their fresh ideas, global skills, and rich perspectives to the table! We congratulate Christiana Stewart, Jason Sodikin, and Ayanna Grant on their incredible journeys and bright futures!

Global awareness and advanced foreign language skills are critical in every field, including science, technology, business, healthcare, the arts, and humanities. 

The How to Grow into a Global Pro video competition was made possible by community partners who served as judges and career advisors for the winning students.
