The Initiative

The Story

"Beyond the Blue" is Aryaman Deepesh Kumar's educational endeavor, chronicling his journey in self-led learning through thoughtful conversations with educational leaders in policy, business, and politics.

Sparked by the greatest college rivalry and inspired by his achievement as a Robertson Scholars Leadership Program Semi-Finalist in high school, Aryaman embarked on a mission to bridge the academic strengths of the two universities most accessible to him during college. Now a Carolina freshman, he pursues a collaborative education through dual-shaded intellectual horizons.

The Values

Personal education is a method of self-leadership, where true learning is achieved through meaningful dialogue and collaboration. "Beyond the Blue" reflects a commitment to intellectual curiosity, proactive engagement, and experiential learning. This initiative fosters a space for candid conversations, highlighting education as a powerful tool for growth and change.
