Amanda McCluney Amanda McCluney, a student at Blacksburg High School, has been chosen to be a student ambassador with People to People. She will participate in a 20-day trip July 7- 27 through Europe.

Amanda said, "This is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I can't wait to have an adventure of a lifetime!"

People to People was founded in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower who believed that ordinary citizens of different nations, if able to communicate directly, would solve their differences and find a way to live in peace. This simple thought - that people can make a difference where government cannot - is People to People's foundation. Since 1963, People to People Student Ambassador Programs has taken thousands of students across international borders to connect with people all over the world.
