NYU Global Engagement Symposium

"The inaugural NYU Global Engagement Symposium will be held in the Kimmel Center for University Life. In an interconnected global network that sees internationally focused student achievement at NYU span six continents and many of the world's most dynamic cities, the symposium is a nexus for a diverse body of undergraduate student presenters to come together and share their accomplishments in global engagement. Participants will gain valuable experience fostering global conversations in a formal conference setting, as well as demonstrate the many ways NYU's global network can be utilized to achieve goals in independent research and personal development."
