The baton has passed to a new GA this Spring – introducing Johann Schutte!
Johann is a full-time student living on campus. He started the program part-time from his home country of South Africa, but decided he wanted to dive and immerse himself in the future. So he packed his bags and came to join us in person this fall. He had an incredible Fall Semester, taking three classes, doing an internship with UNICEF (helping them to set up a Delphi study among other things), participating as a researcher in the Lumina Microsite project and joining fellow students in working with high school students as part of the Houston Urban Debate League.
He took over for Maria Romero, who did an outstanding job in her year as a GA.
Johann’s background includes spending 15 years as a Reverend in the Dutch Reformed Church in Cape Town, which included responsibility for strategic planning. His Framework project called “The Future of Human Effort towards First Contact” has been submitted as one of three UH entries to the APF Student Recognition Program.
Please join me in welcoming Johann to this important role for the Foresight Program. Andy Hines
