We are looking for students who want to be cultivated as culturally aware leaders of tomorrow. Each year we select 20 students from the New York City area and immerse them in an academic year-long program focused on a new cultural region of the world. In looking at tradition, religion, race-relations, gender norms, and political/industrial trends through a new lens, we prepare students to be culturally sensitive before traveling abroad. During the tour, students are able to sharpen their interpersonal skills and international etiquette while immersing themselves within their surroundings. Our students graduate from the program having completed 100 hours of academic content, a new diverse network, and a deeper understanding of the world outside of their own. From various backgrounds, our students come together as a cohort, forever unified by the experience.
