Student Delegates
Several hundred graduate students from the U.S. and overseas attend the "International Achievement Summit" each year. The summits were originally attended by high school students chosen based on their academic achievement and extracurricular activities. More recently, the graduate student attendees of the International Achievement Summit have been selected from a roster of recipients of scholarship and exchange programs including Rhodes, Fulbright and Marshall and faculty nominations from some leading universities. Notable student delegates include:
- Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. (Academy class of 1967)
- Eric Lander (Academy class of 1974)
- Debra Ann Livingston (Academy class of 1977)
- Bruce Reed (Academy class of 1978)
- Herschel Walker (Academy class of 1980)
- Lisa Randall (Academy class of 1980)
- Steven D. Levitt (Academy class of 1985)
- Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Academy class of 2000)

Famous quotes containing the word student:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
