  1. Hello, my name is Isaac Blasi and I’m involved with the Legacy 2000 program at Legacy
    High School in Broomfield, Colorado. This program is designed to challenge
    students who have enthusiasm for science, math, and/or technology by fostering
    students’ passions and encouraging students to research ideas, develop ideas, and
    implement those ideas into reality. Furthermore, a key component of L2k is
    learning how to communicate and network with people.

    I am investigating what it feels like to attend Northwestern University as it is currently my dream school and need to interview two current students from the school as part of my project. If any of you would be interested let me know! You can reach me at ibla255865@adams12.org
