Thirty-eight Georgia Tech students have been selected for the prestigious 2025 Class of the Millennium Fellowship, a global leadership program jointly organized by the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) and the Millennium Campus Network (MCN). These exceptional students were chosen for their commitment to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UNAI Principles in their communities.
The Millennium Fellowship is a semester-long program that convenes, challenges, and celebrates student leadership for the UN’s global goals. The application process for the Class of 2025 was very competitive, and a record-breaking 60,000+ applicants from over 7,500 campuses across the world applied. Of those, only 290+ campuses (just 4%) in 47 countries were selected to host more than 4,000 Millennium Fellows this year.
The Millennium Fellowship Class of 2025 brings together undergraduates recognized for their leadership in sustainable development projects. These students are united by a common goal: to further the United Nations SDGs within their local communities. As part of the fellowship, they will participate in a semester-long leadership training designed to enhance their skills in organizing, building partnerships, and driving meaningful community impact.
Georgia Tech's participation in the 2025 Millennium Fellowship underscores the Institute’s focus on cultivating leaders who are dedicated to addressing pressing global challenges. The 38 Georgia Tech Fellows will work on a wide variety of projects, from promoting quality education and reducing inequalities to advancing climate action and leveraging technology for social good, reflecting the Institute’s deep commitment to fostering positive, global change.
We are so proud of the newly announced cohorts of Georgia Tech Millennium Fellows,” said Dr. Georgia Brunner, Prestigious Fellowships advisor at Georgia Tech. "For the first time, we’ve had enough recipients of the award to necessitate two cohorts of students. Not only does this recognition illustrate the commitment Georgia Tech students have to sustainable development, but it also gives us insight into what amazing things these 38 students might do next.
Congratulations to the 38 Georgia Tech students selected as Millennium Fellows for the Class of 2025. Their dedication to advancing the United Nations SDGs and UNAI Principles is an inspiration, and their projects are set to make a lasting impact on their communities and beyond.
