United Nations Youth Assembly

On July 11th and 12th, NYU will have the honor of sending 150 delegates to a youth assembly at the United Nations. The assembly will focus on skill building, advocacy training, and educating about the goal of having all children in school and learning by 2015. It will culminate with a speech from Malala Yousafzai, who will celebrate her 16th birthday during the conference. Malala was shot at point-blank range for promoting girls' education, and is now a prominent voice among the global push for education and women's rights.

Our delegates, comprised of current students and recent alumni, come from a variety of backgrounds and hold various interests; they truly encapsulate the diversity of the university, as well as the breadth of individuals taking interest in this issue.

All those individuals affiliated with NYU that are 25 and under are eligible to attend this exciting event. To RSVP, email Jason.Brillon@tufts.edu with you full name, age, and preferred email address.
