Dear Students,
Humanitarian Affairs Asia is looking for outstanding student leaders from our college to attend the 13th University Scholars Leadership Symposium (USLS) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from August 5 to 8, 2025.
Since its inception, USLS has empowered over 10,000 young leaders from 100+ countries, many of whom have gone on to launch humanitarian projects, lead social enterprises, and contribute to the United Nations and international NGOs. This is your chance to gain the knowledge, skills, and network to become an influential force for good.
Why Attend USLS 2025?
✅ Exclusive Learning Experience – Engage with world-renowned humanitarian leaders, social entrepreneurs, and UN officials who are shaping global policies and solutions.
✅ Experiential Learning – Take part in Kindness Day, where you’ll step out of the conference room and work directly with marginalized communities, turning insights into real action.
✅ Global Networking – Build connections with like-minded changemakers from diverse backgrounds, forming a powerful network of future leaders.
✅ Career Development – Develop critical leadership, advocacy, and crisis response skills that set you apart in your future career.
✅ High-Level Recognition – USLS 2025 is co-partnered with the Government of Malaysia, adding prestige and credibility to your leadership journey.
At USLS, you won’t just listen—you’ll act, engage, and transform. This is more than a symposium; it’s a launchpad for your leadership journey in humanitarianism, social impact, and sustainable development.
