By Sierra Smith, Communications Specialist
On Thursday, January 19, the Tennessee Department of Education announced Sheerea Yu ’23 as one of two Tennessee students selected to represent the state in the United States Senate Youth Program. As a result, Sheerea is invited to attend the 61st annual Washington Week in March where she’ll participate in a comprehensive, interactive leadership program.
According to the Department of Education, selection is based on “academic accomplishments, community service, knowledge of current American government issues and procedures, and demonstrated leadership for the current school year.”
In the weeklong program, Sheerea will hear major addresses from government leaders including senators, cabinet members, and officials of the State and Defense Departments. Additionally, she’ll tour iconic Washington, D.C. locations like the U.S. Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and the various Smithsonian Museums. As one of 104 student delegates selected — two from each state, the District of Columbia, and the Department of Defense Office of Dependents Schools — Sheerea will receive a $10,000 college scholarship for undergraduate studies as well.
