Dear Friend,

I am excited to invite you to join President Clinton and a growing community of students, global leaders, and university administrators at the second Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) Annual Meeting, which will take place at the University of Texas at Austin from February 13-15, 2009.
At CGI U, young people from around the world will come together to create innovative solutions to global challenges such as education, energy & climate change, global health, human rights & peace, and poverty alleviation.

In order to attend, all students must complete the CGI U 2009 application. Each attendee must also make a Commitment to Action - a tangible, measurable plan for addressing a specific problem on campus or around the world.

Since the inaugural CGI U meeting in March 2008 at Tulane University, nearly 1,000 commitments have been made by students and universities worldwide. Click here to browse these commitments before making your own.

Attending CGI U is FREE, and travel assistance is available for those who qualify.

The deadline for early decision applications to CGI U is November 7, 2008. The final deadline for applications is December 12, 2008. However, applications will be processed on a rolling basis and we encourage you to apply as early as possible.

So apply today, make your own commitment, and network with other students who want to make a difference. To learn more, visit CGIU.org, sign up for e-mail updates, and connect with emerging student leaders through the CGI U Facebook community.

We hope to see you in Austin!

Sincerely,

Keisha Senter
Director, CGI U

PS. Please forward widely to other students in your network who might be interested.
