[Air-l] unesco young scholars program

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

(sorry for the u.s. bias, i'm reposting it from someone on my blogroll)

UNESCO's Young Professionals Program (YPP) is extremely competitive.  
However, However, the United States is an "underrepresented state" in  
that we have fewer than our proportionate number of employees on the  
UNESCO staff (due largely to the fact that the United States had  
withdrawn from the organization for so many years). Each under- 
represented member state is allowed to submit twelve candidates for  
further consideration by UNESCO. U.S. candidate applications are  
reviewed by the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO. This year there  
were some outstanding candidates from the United States, and their  
applications have been forwarded to UNESCO with the endorsement of  
the National Commission and the Department of State. Alex Zemak, the  
Deputy Executive Director of the U.S. National Commission informs our  
editor that "Americans for UNESCO's representative Andre Varchaver  
contributed greatly to our Young Professional Review panel this year".
