THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOU

The Center for Global Affairs, through a provocative and diverse series of free public programs, strives to shape and focus student, scholarly, and public opinion on global issues through a variety of lenses, such as film, journalism, art, economics, history, politics, law, and international relations. Our programs are designed as a collaborative enterprise, drawing on the talents of NYU’s 14 schools and colleges, the greater New York City community, and leaders from around the world.
