CEDAR FALLS — While a lot of high schoolers may be hopping on planes this summer to vacation with their families, incoming Cedar Falls senior Param Sampat will be taking a different kind of trip – to attend a highly selective leadership opportunity in the nation's capital. Sampat has been selected as one of two representatives from Iowa to attend Boys Nation in Washington, D.C., a weeklong civic engagement and leadership training program. From Friday to July 28, he will join two young men from each of the 48 other participating states – all but Hawaii – who have just finished their junior year of high school.
