Palikir, Pohnpei - September 01, 2009 - Erik W Olter and Lewi-Rose Sigrah were selected and approved to attend the World Telecom 2009 Youth Forum in Geneva. They will be representing the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) at the forum.
Olter from national campus and Sigrah from Pohnpei state campus were among a group of second-year students who submitted essays during last March for consideration on the topic of "What is the biggest problem in your community and how would you use information communication technologies to solve it?"
Each campus submitted the names of a male and female student for consideration. A team of essay reviewers from the college and the national government reviewed all essay entries and recommended Olter and Sigrah to the World Telecom 2009 Youth Forum organizers who accepted their nomination.
The forum will take place in Switzerland during the month of October.
Lewi-Rose Sigrah is still attending the College of Micronesia - FSM while Erik Olter has transferred to the University of Hawaii. The two will be contacted directly by the event organizers.
