Katherine Grace Go (4 BS MGT) represented the Philippines and won the Most Outstanding Student Leader prize at the 11th Asian Youth Leaders Travel and Learning Camp (AYLTLC) held at the National University of Singapore (NUS) last 15 to 19 February. Her team also won the award for Most Outstanding Presentation in a pitch on sustainable development. 

Supported by the Singapore National Youth Council and Tourism Board, AYLTLC is an annual conference that brings undergraduate and graduate Asian leaders to Singapore for training in cross-cultural collaboration and problem-solving. This year, the delegates engaged in lectures and workshops on environmental research, public policy, urban development, and corporate social responsibility from esteemed professors at NUS. The delegates also toured Singapore's New Water Visitor Centre, Public Utilities Board, and Lifelong Learning Institute to learn about Singapore’s innovation.

For her initiative throughout the team missions and culminating presentation, Go was among the students selected for the individual prize of Most Outstanding Student Leader out of over 200 delegates from 15 nations. Moreover, her team, comprising delegates from Japan, Hong Kong, China, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan, bested 24 teams in the final pitch presentation through their accessible cold storage solution to the food waste crisis in developing Asian countries.
