CHINA EARTHQUAKE UPDATE
We are saddened by the news of the powerful earthquake that struck today in western China. The epicenter of the quake was in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province about 1000 miles west of Shanghai. Residents of eastern China were not directly affected by the quake. All of the students on the NYU program are in classes this week and have been encouraged to be in contact with their families.
Students Create Study Abroad Guides
The NYU Global Ambassadors, an organization of study abroad returnee students, have written Study Abroad Guides based on all of their experiences and knowledge gained from their time overseas. These range from site-specific guides, to reports that address gender, diversity and sexual orientation issues abroad. To access information that you won't find in your typical travel book, visit our new Student-to-Student Guides page.
