Southeast Missouri State University student Lydia Cameron of Cape Girardeau, MO, has been selected to participate in a four-day seminar during spring break week March 13-18 at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C.

CSIS is a strategic think tank whose scholars and board members provide advice to the federal government on significant social, economic, environmental and political global issues. Students at Southeast enroll in a course that allows them to work throughout the week with researchers and consultants who advise national leaders in the top levels of government as they develop policies and strategies that affect the United States and the global community.

Cameron is a sophomore pursuing a degree in communication disorders and a minor in child development. She is a member of Residence Hall Association, Jane Stephens Honors Program and National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association. Her career aspirations include being a speech pathologist specializing in neurogenic disorders. Cameron is the daughter of David and Caitlin Cameron of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and is a 2014 graduate of a homeschool program.
