International High School Forum
Thank you!
We were so excited to bring together 47 youth leaders representing 10+ countries—including USA, Mexico, Canada, Japan, South Africa, Kazakhstan, and Thailand—to exchange ideas and explore new perspectives on health, STEM, AI, culture, and college & career pathways.
We were honored to welcome Dr. Sophia Giang, Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatric Nephrology at Stanford Medicine and physician at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, as our keynote speaker. Thank you Dr. Giang for sharing your expertise and inspiring the next generation of leaders.
We hope everyone found the forum insightful, connected with our featured speakers from leading universities, and is ready to drive what’s next. We look forward to seeing you at our next forum!
Sincerely,
