In addition to NYU, students attended the event from Baruch, Columbia, Fordham, Hunter, New School, Penn State, Princeton, Sarah Lawrence College, Seton Hall, Syracuse, Rutgers, and Vassar. The program gave participants an opportunity to speak with accomplished professionals from across the foreign affairs community.
