About
Each session will cover the history and present-day issues of US territories like Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Puerto Rico, and the USVI.
For example, a class may cover colonization, the Insular Cases, militarization, ethical tourism, or corruption & local issues in our island governments.
The goal of these sessions is to educate students in the 50 US States about our islands, through networking, collaboration, and first-hand perspectives.

Hello, I am a junior from the USVI who is passionate about government, MUN and my school newspaper! I lead sessions on Caribbean History to promote ethical tourism, involvement in government and inspire greater repercussions for the irresponsible spending and corruption that plagues our island governments.
