Alum selected Presidential Leadership Scholar
Sarah Adeel MIA 09 is grateful to share that she has been selected as a Presidential Leadership Scholar (PLS) Class of 2025.
PLS brings together diverse leaders to learn from the experiences of Presidents George W. Bush, William J. Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Over the next one year, Sarah will collaborate with an incredible cohort, learning from former presidents, top leaders, and experts to drive meaningful impact. From Sarah's first LGTVP fellowship in Switzerland in 2012 to being an Acumen fellow in 2014—this journey has shaped her vision for a more connected, equitable world. Now, as a PLS Scholar, Sarah is excited to focus my leadership project on Mayz, a platform designed to foster human connection over food and dialogue.
"In a world that often feels divided, I believe shared meals and meaningful conversations can bring people together in powerful ways."
Sarah is grateful for the lessons learnt at RISD that come handy in everything she does.
