Summer School in Global Governance to participate in its competitive global governance program carefully curated for young professionals in politics, law, defense, corporate finance and other areas of international activity.<br><br>The theme of this year\u2019s program was \u201cThreats of a Bipolar World\u201d, and it covered a range of topics from European Union affairs, China in Geopolitics,

well as younger persons, such as herself, who are professionally engaged in international relations.&nbsp;&nbsp; She was the only participant selected from the Caribbean.<br><br>&nbsp;Ms. Sterling was recommended for participation in the program by Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, whom she serves as his advisor in areas related to Caribbean Community
