Building on the successful model of the Clinton Global Initiative, which brings together world leaders to take action on global challenges, President Clinton launched the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) in 2007 to engage the next generation of leaders on college campuses around the world.

Each year, CGI U hosts a meeting for students, national youth organizations, and university officials to discuss solutions to pressing global issues. The third annual CGI U meeting will bring together students, university presidents, and national youth organizations to create and implement Commitments to Action across five Global Challenge Areas :

Education, Environment & Climate Change, Peace & Human Rights, Poverty Alleviation, and Public Health. 

This year's meeting will be held from April 16-18th, 2010 at the University of Miami.

The CGI U 2010 meeting will be arranged around plenary sessions, working sessions, and skill sessions, all of which allow members to interact with one another and formulate commitments and productive partnerships.  An up-to-date schedule of events will be forthcoming.

Whether discussing the education of marginalized populations or the worldwide struggle against infectious diseases, each session is informed by university leaders, student activists, heads of leading NGOs, topic experts, and others who have created positive change in the global community.  Participants are also invited to participate in CGI U Exchange, an exhibition allowing meeting attendees to learn more about the commitments and organizations present at the CGI U Meeting. On Sunday, CGI U members will take part in an innovative service project which will allow students to give back to the greater Miami community.
