00:13My name is Charlie Grunlow. I am a junior here at Mississippi State University. I have been
00:18involved with the Myers Report for a little over a year now, and I've learned quite a lot. I'm an
00:23economics major, and I'd like to maybe get into finance, but I've also kind of been looking into
00:29law a little bit. I've learned quite a lot. I've developed some critical thinking skills
00:40in common debate and discussion with folks involved. I've developed research skills in
00:48the projects that we've done while I've been here, and I've become a lot more cognizant of
00:53world events and their effects on me and society as a whole. I've developed an international
01:03group of people that are not just colleagues, but they're also really good friends. Students like me
01:09from the U.S. and abroad, Chicago, Minnesota, people all over the country, and abroad in the U.K. and
01:19Portugal. Also, among the older folks, I've met scientists, diplomats, politicians, some of them
01:26former, but some of them are still very much involved in their work and in their legacy.
01:34I 100% believe that this would help my career. The knowledge I've gained and the skills I've been
01:42able to test myself on, I don't think a lot of other people would get the chance to do things
01:50like
01:50this. Absolutely. I would recommend getting involved in the Myers report to anyone around my age, whether
02:00they're involved in economics, meteorology, STEM, or law.
02:11I think the most important thing I've learned while being involved in the Myers report is
02:17the connections I've made and the people I've met. These are an incredibly, incredibly talented and smart
02:27group of people, every single one of them, and I have never had a bad experience with any single one
02:33of them.
