The Glimpse Foundation Uses Innovative Web Technology to Engage Generation Y

Providence, RI (PRWEB) May 23, 2007 -- The Glimpse Foundation has captured the attention of The GenY Project for its technological savvy and its innovative techniques for engaging its target constituency: Generation Y. In a recent podcast, broadcast on The GenY Project's website, Glimpse's President, Publisher and Founder, Nick Fitzhugh, outlined his vision for the future of Generation Y, which he foresees as a body of internationally invested and cross-culturally aware global citizens. The 501(c)3 Glimpse Foundation fosters cross-cultural understanding and exchange, particularly between the United States and the rest of the world, by providing forums for sharing the experiences of young adults living and studying abroad.

The budding five-year-old enterprise is currently run by Fitzhugh (age 28) and co-founder Kerala Goodkin (age 26). It was started in the fall of 2000 around a kitchen table in a dorm room at Brown University, when Fitzhugh called a meeting to discuss an idea he had for a "new approach to international journalism." Those in attendance shared a fundamental concern over the lack of venues through which young Americans can contextualize geographic knowledge and gain insight into the daily realities of life abroad, especially during times of unprecedented globalization. To address this concern, they mapped out a plan to solicit personal stories -- not from travelers or reporters--but rather from their peers who were confronting these daily realities by living and studying abroad.

Glimpse began as a print magazine with a small web presence. However, realizing the increasing popularity of dynamic social networking sites within Generation Y, Fitzhugh and Goodkin set to work vastly expanding the Glimpse website, GlimpseAbroad.org, to include interactive capabilities. No longer a static body of content, GlimpseAbroad now integrates its personal stories about daily life overseas with blogs, surveys, forums, networking capabilities and PDF Guides about living and studying abroad. By providing ways for study abroad students to connect, the website is growing virally as registered users share web features with their peers beyond the study abroad community.

"For anyone studying or living abroad, it often ends up being one of the most important experiences of their lives," says Fitzhugh in The GenY Project podcast. GlimpseAbroad helps provide these young adults with a variety of platforms to share this experience with a national audience of peers -- and in turn, to inspire a deeper understanding of the world. The GenY Project's Bea Fields, who interviewed Fitzhugh for the podcast, said after exploring Glimpse Abroad, "I've been very enlightened on a lot of different levels." She continued, "Nick is one those incredible GenY leaders. It is impressive to see the diligence and rigor with which he has pursued this vision and mission."
