Emerging Scholars: Class of 2012

As always, agonizing over who would make up this year's class of Emerging Scholars was intense, yet this was a happy work. We at Diverse felt privileged to have the opportunity to present these 12 talented young scholars committed to using their gifts to make the world a better place. There is something special about each of the Emerging Scholars you will have a chance to get to know through reading their profiles. Though their backgrounds vary widely, they all share the desire to use their gift s to improve the lot of mankind. It is this spirit of service-oriented scholarship that Diverse salutes in its 11th annual installment of Emerging Scholars.
