May 23, 2004, Greencastle, Ind. - Michael Knight, who
just completed his sophomore year at DePauw University, is participating in
the International Mission on Diplomacy in Brazil, which began yesterday
and continues through June 4. Knight was one of approximately 80
college students throughout the United States selected by Envision
Institute, which sponsors the missions, to explore the inner workings of
international affairs in Brazil. In particular, Knight will explore the
modern-day issues that drive the need for strong diplomatic ties between
Brazil and other countries of the Americas.
As our country focuses on building global networks with 
the aim of
negotiating through international conflicts, individuals like Michael
Knight are seeking out opportunities to learn how other countries
utilize their diplomatic corps," John Hines, executive director of
Envision Institute, says in a news release. "The International Mission
on Diplomacy engages its participants to learn from individuals
currently leading cooperative efforts in staving off potential
international conflict."
