Hillsboro’s Tanner A. Holliday to take part in Envision’s National Youth Leadership Forum

This summer, Tanner A. Holliday from Hillsboro will join outstanding students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career-oriented development experience, National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Explore STEM, taking place this summer on the campus of Bowling Green State University.

NYLF Explore STEM is one of the Envision by WorldStrides family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom.

Tanner Holliday was nominated to attend the forum by his fifth grade science and social studies teacher, Mrs. Melissa Boysel at Hillsboro Elementary.

An active and curious student, Holliday enjoys playing soccer, participating in Boy Scouts and working on his remote-controlled projects. His favorite subjects are math and science, where he excels in problem-solving and hands-on learning.

Holliday’s dedication and enthusiasm for learning made him one of the select few chosen for this opportunity. His family is incredibly proud of his nomination and excited for the experiences this forum will offer him.

“I am excited for Tanner to meet, work and collaborate with fellow high-aspiring students from other cities and schools,” said Dr. Jan Sikorsky, Vice President, Education for Envision. “NYLF Explore STEM is a wonderful opportunity for ambitious young students to explore their interests outside the classroom and discover how to innovate and think creatively through hands-on immersive learning. Our students are challenged with real-world simulations and problems, working together to develop unique solutions and projects to bring life to their studies and career interests.”

For over 35 years, Envision by WorldStrides has empowered extraordinary students to become their best selves through programs that enable them to discover their passion, explore a career, and positively impact their world. In 2018, Envision became part of the WorldStrides family. The largest provider of educational travel and experiences in the United States, WorldStrides works with over 50,000 educators each year to help more than 550,000 students see the world — and themselves — in new ways.
