MedSci Academy senior Myles Bartholomew and freshman MedSci Academy student Brazil Bartholomew attended the World Youth Foundation, Inc’s 2015 DC Congressional Conference in September. This is a four day conference where students from across the United States are able to attend various breakout sessions on economic development, innovation in education, Town Hall meetings, African American Youth and much more. Students also tour the White House, attend a Gala with congressional leaders (including President and Mrs. Obama), and visit with many leaders in the African American community.

Students go through a rigorous application and interview process in order to be selected to attend the Congressional Conference. The students traveled with Congressman Al Green and other political leaders from the Greater Houston Area to attend the various caucus talks while in D.C.
