UNSW arts/law student Julia Roy has been awarded one of six Australian fellowships offered by the Goldman Sachs Global Leaders Program.
The program is run by the Institute of International Education and the Goldman Sachs Foundation and recognises outstanding academic achievement and leadership potential. Each fellow is awarded US$3000.
Julia has also been selected to travel to New York in July to attend the program's Global Leadership Institute.
The 20-year-old will join 50 other students from 17 countries to meet international leaders and learn about global issues. Past leaders have included UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan.
Julia currently edits the monthly Women Students' Law Society newsletter, The Female Brief, as well as the academic journal of the Politics and International Relations Society, Backbencher. She also has an active interest in the plight of Borneo's indigenous people. Last year she completed a three month-remote teaching placement in the Sarawakian interior, and is currently developing a number of grassroots education initiatives.
"I know it's a cliché, but knowledge is power", says Julia. "In New York, I hope to network with other leaders, to combine resources and expand my initiatives in Borneo into other parts of the developing world."
