Two members of the executive board of the Business & Current Affairs Think Tank <\/strong>club on Hult\u2019s Dubai campus and Masters in International Business Class of 2019 students Victoria Landa-Steinau<\/a> (Club President) and Alex Roos<\/a> (Scholarship\u00a0Committee Chairman) have launched a scholarship fund in conjunction with their search to find the BCA\u2019s new President for the incoming Class of 2020. The scholarship is open to all incoming Masters students on any campus.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Victoria: The BCA Think Tank\u2019s mission is to promote awareness of the intersection between business and current affairs. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

We are passionate about equipping the next generation of global leaders with the ability to make effective decisions while taking into account the impact they will have on the ground. Topics recently covered include humanitarian aid and cryptocurrency. The next meeting will discuss business opportunities in Africa, in partnership with the Doing Business in Africa club. We have worked hard and the BCA Think Tank is now the most successful club on campus in terms of active membership and frequency of meetings.<\/p>\n

Alex: Working on the club\u2019s executive board has really grown me personally and professionally.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My role at the BCA is organizational development. It\u2019s been a huge opportunity to grow into a leadership position and will enable me to further my career after graduation. Not to mention my acquired understanding of all the hot topics we cover. As someone who didn\u2019t used to be particularly interested in current affairs, this experience has really opened my eyes.<\/p>\n

Victoria: I have gained a lot from mentoring the club\u2019s executive board members. Knowing I\u2019ve played a role in developing Alex\u2019s and other members\u2019 careers is incredibly rewarding. In the past, I have felt powerless about social injustice but through the work we\u2019re doing at the club, I finally feel I have been able to give back in a positive way.<\/p>\n

Social justice has always been a passion of mine. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

My undergrad was in Political Science and I wanted to go into politics because that is where I initially thought I could make the greatest impact. But as I learned more and reflected, I saw the dual influences of business and politics and I realized that is where the impact lies. I thought it would be a great opportunity to engage and develop my peers on this\ua7f7it feels good to know that when they\u2019re CEOs and managers, they\u2019ll be taking these issues and topics into account in their decision making.<\/p>\n

Alex: And this is why we\u2019re working so hard to create a scholarship.\u00a0We really want to see what we\u2019ve worked for continue into another year and to have an even bigger impact.<\/p>\n

Victoria: We\u2019re excited to offer a scholarship to help fund a future Hult student\u2019s development.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We feel strongly that equal access to quality education is what will change the world. And global education is the catalyst that will bring us all together.<\/p>\n

Alex: Victoria and I are both American, where scholarships are very much a part of the educational landscape. I was so passionate about coming to Hult, for me it was a case of either raise the funds through scholarships to get here, or continue working until I\u2019d saved enough to cover all the fees myself. So this is a good way to pay it forward for all the organizations that helped us financially. It\u2019s also in recognition of the fact that the strongest candidates don\u2019t always have the necessary financial resources immediately available to them. We would love to give them that opportunity to fund their studies with Hult and make a difference in the world.<\/p>\n

I came to Hult to challenge the status quo and to strive for more in the face of adversity.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The BCA\u2019s mission is aligned with the school and the Hult DNA. We\u2019ve brought together passionate people from across the Hult community and are really excited to see it continue to gain traction.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The recipient of the BCA scholarship will take over the club\u2019s Presidency.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Current president Victoria will hand over the reins to the scholarship recipient. She\u2019ll run a training session and is also happy to have monthly update calls throughout the year as needed.<\/p>\n

Candidate requirements:\u00a0<\/strong>The scholarship recipient should be able to dedicate 5-10 hours per week to the club.
