Have you ever attended a baseball game?

 

Start the fall semester off by going to Citi Field in Queens, home of the New York Mets, and watching a live baseball game! Maybe you’ll even have the chance to catch a ball, and take it home as a souvenir. If you don’t know how baseball is played, this is a great opportunity to learn the rules alongside other students who might be unfamiliar. It’s $5 Tuesdays at the stadium which means that select items, like beer, soda, and hot dogs, all cost only $5 each!

 

One To World has reserved an entire block of seats, 50 tickets, so in addition to watching the action on the field, you will have the opportunity to mingle with other international students who attend universities around the New York area!

 

*Tickets are non-refundable*

Join fellow international students for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to network, share your views, and visit a part of the U.S. many locals never get to see!

 

The Class of 1971 Student Conference on United States Affairs (SCUSA) has been held annually since 1960. The conference is a mix of speeches and panels featuring high-ranking military and civilian leaders, as well as discussion roundtables and social events. Past speakers have included Secretary Henry Kissinger, Secretary Madeleine Albright, Ambassador Susan Rice, and General Paul Nakasone. At their discussion sessions, delegates will get the opportunity to react to the contents of speeches, to more personally meet other delegates, and to guide the conversation by voicing their opinion on the many subtopics related to the conference theme. Around 1-3 international delegates will be assigned to each roundtable, along with student delegate from civilian and military institutions from around the United States.

 

One To World’s delegation plays a special role in this prestigious foreign affairs conference by adding a critical international perspective to the student deliberations on U.S. foreign policy. As international student participants, One To World delegates enrich the conference with their various national and cultural perspectives, as well as their academic experience. In turn, American undergraduate conference participants and Cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point share their cultural, political, and educational views with One To World’s delegates in an exciting academic and social setting.

 

The SCUSA fee is $300. This fee covers the registration fee, round-trip transportation from NYC, accommodations, and meals. Delegates are responsible for any spending money they may require for souvenirs, snacks or other items. NOTE: Possible sponsorships are available.

Want to visit a local farm in Manhattan?

 

The Battery Urban Farm is an educational farm where NYC students, locals, and visitors experience sustainable farming, taste organic fresh foods, and learn environmental stewardship. The farm was developed in 2011 by The Battery Conservancy in response to a request for a vegetable garden by students from a local high school. It now engages thousands of students and community volunteers who annually grow thousands of pounds of vegetables, fruits, herbs, grains, and flowers.

 

Volunteers assist with a range of tasks to maintain vegetable and forest farms, depending on what’s needed. Activities may include harvesting produce for donations, layering and turning compost, bed prep, weeding, mulching, and planting.

 

There might even be an opportunity to take home some fresh produce as a token of your hard work!
