Alumnus Rolando C. Villamero, Jr. (BSE English ’08, magna cum laude) was recently chosen as one of the 12 Fellows to the Jeanne Sauve Public Leadership Program in Canada this July 2015. This prestigious scholarship program for outstanding young advocates around the world is tasked to innovate projects in public leadership. Participants bring to the program their own expertise and perspectives, shaped by their experiences working to address this issue in their respective context, communities and countries.
