CGI U 2023
Students taking action together
Bringing together student commitment-makers, alumni, university representatives, topic experts, and high-profile individuals to turn ideas into action and address the world’s most pressing challenges
Students accepted into the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) program receive an invitation to attend the annual CGI U meeting hosted by President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton in partnership with a different college or university each year. The meeting convenes hundreds of student commitment-makers, alumni, university representatives, topic experts, and high-profile individuals to discuss how to turn ideas into action and address the world’s most pressing challenges.
CGI U’s largest sessions featuring President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton that highlight key themes of the annual meeting and a broad range of topics, such as freedom of expression around the world to the power of big data.
These smaller sessions provide students with the opportunity to hear from topic experts in CGI U’s five focus areas and the chance to engage with fellow students in order to hone in on the skills needed to develop their commitment.
Students connect directly with program participants and special guests in small group settings, allowing students to ask follow up questions, share their own personal stories and thoughts, and seek specific advice on their commitments.
An opportunity to meet and share ideas with fellow CGI U students based on areas of interest.
CGI U students participate in community service projects with select partner organizations.
Since the first annual meeting at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2008, CGI U has brought together thousands of students from across the world to a different university and city each year.
