Summit of all Summits 27 Comments

esai

I remember when I attended my first ESAi summit. I remember the trouble I went through to get there and I’m pretty sure those around me then can vouch for it too. It was one of the most invigorating and unforgettable experiences of my college years.

It was the 3rd annual Summit in Berkeley, CA.  I was excited to meet some new faces and see what they hype about these summits were about.  I may be biased, but that was my favorite summit. I then went ahead and ran for a position in ESAi and proud to say that I loved each and every moment of it.

Fast forward 7 years later, I still hold on to those memories and look how far ESAi has come. For those of you who are not familiar with what ESAi means, Ethiopian Students Association, International. For the first time, ESAi is putting living up to the “I”. All summits have been held all over the US but never have they crossed the border. It’s great to see that this year’s host are located in Canada.

I wish I could make it. The other day I asked Mike Endale whether he was going or not, he said of course.  I was sort of worried that we’d only be the “seniors” and not too many to join us, so I’d feel out of place. He also said something poignant. When we used to organize past summits , we were always looking for folks to attend and it would only be right to support their efforts.

So if you live in Toronto, or you know anyone who lives in Toronto, please make sure to support these young, energectic individuals who’ve poured their heart and soul in organizing the summit.

10th Annual ESAi Summit

    Even though I only have attended two ESai Summits, I agree the UC Berkeley Summit was one of the best ESAi summit to this day. I can be biased a bit right. Anyhow, mad props to Toronto, even though I was not there to see what took place but do have faith in the youngsters. What I would like to see is Alumnis getting invloved.

    lmao @ interpol.
    random hilarity.

    anyways, it beens great to see ESAi start out as fledgling group and to now witness what it is today. the energy is amazing. keep it up, ESAi.

    is this a networking event? what goes on in these summits, I got some cousins coming up, may be worthwhile to help them connect with ethiopians their age.

    ESAi sounds like a great concept. I hope this years event was a success.
