After a two year hiatus, we're going back to the beach this summer! If you haven't had the time to check out the Jersey Shore, this is the perfect opportunity!

 

We are embarking on a day long excursion to Long Branch, where you will have the chance to relax on the sand, shop, and have lunch at Pier Village, all while taking part in beach activities like volleyball or cornhole.

 

Don't miss the chance to escape the city heat, go for a swim in the Atlantic Ocean, and experience a typical seaside boardwalk!

 

*Tickets are non-refundable*

There's no better way to get to know your community than through service! Join other international students and local New Yorkers at Fort Tryon Park for some fun in the sun, all well helping keep New York's nature healthy and beautiful.

 

We'll be doing some light gardening activities, including removing debris and invasive plant species, weeding, mulching and planting. Gardening tools and gloves will be provided, just wear sturdy shoes and comfortable clothes. Don't forget to bring plenty of water!

 

This is a great way to spend a day at one of New York's most beautiful parks while making new friends and doing some good.

 

Spring has sprung in New York City! Take a break from finals and join us at the Great Lawn in Central Park for an afternoon of games, snacks, and fun with One To World and fellow international students. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the warmer weather, talk with friends, and play games like Codenames, Jenga, Telestrations, and more...!

 

 

Are you interested in learning more about the U.S. federal and state governments during your Fulbright experience in the states? New York will be electing a new governor in November of this year and the primary elections will be taking place in just a few months. The election process in the U.S. is quite unique compared to most other countries and we have organized a panel discussion with experts in the field to help shed light on it all works!
During this virtual talk, you will hear from:

• • Anika Michel, Strategic Monitoring and Government Relations Attachée at Québec Government Office in New York. Anika previously worked in the Office of the New York City Public Advocate as Policy and Legislative Associate, and is a former Fulbright grantee to Spain. Anika will speak to how government works in the U.S. on both a macro and micro level, and as Co-Founder/Director of Marketing at Amplify Her, she will also offer insight into the gender parity in elected offices, both in New York, and throughout the country.
  • Erin Stamper, Elections Specialist, Chatham, New York. Erin is also the current Deputy Commissioner of the Columbia County Board of Elections in New York. Erin will share with students about the process of campaigning during a general election, what that entails, and how that might differ from other countries.
  • Robert Stein, Dean of Social Sciences, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, Alfred University. Robert has over 25 years experience in academia as a professor with a focus on political science. He plans to share a general overview of how the U.S. general election process works, specifically the practice of gerrymandering.

 

There will be a Q & A at the end so come prepared with questions!
