Local teen scholar invited to Delegation for Diplomacy in South Africa

Local teen and Lake Tahoe Community College student Laney Terrell has been invited by the International Scholar Laureate Program to join a delegation on International Relations & Diplomacy that will be traveling to South Africa in spring 2020.

"I am so excited for this opportunity to see how other democracies work and represent my Hometown," Terrell said.

An early graduate from Visions in Education, Terrell is a full year ahead of her class and now attending LTCC full time. She is also part of the Student Senate and the National Society for Leadership & Success chapter on campus. She was noticed by Envision for Education and invited last summer to attend an Intensive Law & Trial program at Stanford University.

"It is an honor to be recognized by these organizations," said Terrell. "I am proud to represent my hometown and gain this unique experience."

She is currently fundraising to help with costs for the program. She is also applying for scholarships as well. The program is all-inclusive and will take her for 10 days into the seat of South Africa's new democracy and government. She will get to meet with leaders and understand the challenges they face.
