Meg Walsh, BA \u201984, was a dedicated alumna, passionate explorer of the world, and, as treasurer and vice president of Lucent Technologies, a true leader in the global community. This award, established in her memory by her family, classmates, and the Second Decade Society, will provide opportunities to develop the qualities of independent intellectual inquiry, global perspective, and leadership that Meg Walsh exemplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Second Decade Society\/Florence \u201cMeg\u201d Long Walsh Leadership Award provides a graduating senior from the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences with $32,000 to undertake an independent project of their own unique design involving international travel. The award affords the opportunity for a promising Hopkins graduate to focus on an independent project that explores the student\u2019s own interests and abilities, test their knowledge and assumptions in a broader international context, and develop leadership skills. Projects may be in any area, including public service, creative or artistic, research\u2014whatever the applicant desires. The project may not, however, include extended study at a foreign university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
