Reach: Global Research & Leadership

Join a global network of driven, interdisciplinary students committed to one powerful idea: leave no one behind. The Reach Alliance offers a transformative co-curricular research and leadership experience that combines academic mentorship, professional skill-building, and real-world impact—all rooted in the mission of advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As a Reach student researcher, you’ll collaborate in interdisciplinary teams to investigate overlooked climate, public health and economic challenges – especially those affecting under-served populations for geographic, administrative or social barriers. Your research, grounded in local community will generate actionable insights, that help accelerate progress towards the SDGs and launch your own leadership journey as a global change maker.

Over 12-18 months, you’ll:

  • Design and conduct primary research project in collaboration with local partners
  • Work with world-class faculty mentors
  • Author and publish a professional-grade case study
  • Build leadership and teamwork skills through expert team coaching
  • Present findings at a global Reach conference
  • Join a lifelong network of purpose-driven leaders.
