logoFREMONT, California: This summer, Adarsh Iyengar from Fremont, California, will join outstanding high school students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience, “National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): National Security”, on the campus of University of Maryland, College Park.

NYLF:National Security is one of the Envision family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom.

Adarsh was nominated to attend the forum by his principal at Mission San Jose High School in Fremont. In addition to being a passionate and avid scuba diver, he has also participated in JV soccer team and the JV/Varsity swim team, previously. With dreams of being an officer in the US Navy, Adarsh is extremely excited and looking forward to receiving the knowledge and hands on training experience that the forum provides.

“As an alumna of Envision myself, I am excited for Adarsh to meet, work, and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country and the globe,” said Amanda Freitag Thomas, SVP for Envision, in a press statement.

“Hands down, my favorite part of attending an Envision program was being with motivated students in an environment designed to help us challenge our assumptions, meet new people, and grow. Creating that same learning environment is a central focus for all of our programs. At NYLF: National Security, students build the confidence and skills needed to excel at college and in the workplace. They learn how to adapt to and communicate in new situations, to new challenges, and with new people, which, given how rapidly the world is changing due to technology and innovation, are essential skills for success.”

Since 1985, Envision programs have served more than 800,000 students in more than 145 countries, with programs designed to help students develop the leadership, scholarship and career skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive college and career landscape.
