”One To World surely allows connecting with the international community and learning more about different cultures possible during the pandemic.”
AmyelFulbright Grantee from the Philippines at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
"Meeting the staff and other students from One To World was the highlight of the 'Understanding Systemic Racism' program. International students have a difficult time acclimating to life in a foreign land as it is, so being around and knowing that there are other students in the same boat as you, and an organization that cares about your well-being gives you a nice warm feeling.”
AmitStudent from India at Baruch College, CUNY
“One To World is a wonderful opportunity to network, embrace and appreciate diversity. Through its events and programs, I got the chance to meet people from different backgrounds, nations and beliefs. At the beginning, I was aspiring to learn how people differ from one culture to another since New York is a diverse city. However, I found myself appreciating how similar we all were regardless of our origins, cultures or beliefs.”
IkramFulbright student from Morocco at Stevens Institute of Technology
"I really enjoyed spending Thanksgiving with an American family through One To World. Learning more about American history and traditions, and exchanging ideas and insights with people around the world was the most meaningful part of my abroad experience."
