NYU Steinhardt is set to host Go Global, Get Local, an event that brings together two perspectives on international education: students who have returned from studying at NYU global sites and current international students sharing their home countries and cultures. The event is designed as a face-to-face look at study abroad, global campuses and the lived experience of an international student community.

What students can expect from Go Global, Get Local

That makes it relevant not only for students considering overseas study, but also for anyone interested in how international communities are represented on campus through culture and food.

NYU also says cuisine from around the world will be part of the event, and that reasonable accommodations are available for people with disabilities if requested at least two weeks before the date of need.

Food from around the world will also be part of the program, tying the academic and cultural elements together in one gathering.
Where does the event connect to NYU’s global network?
The listing names several NYU global sites that will be represented in the event, including Accra, London, Madrid and Prague, with the description also noting that other sites may be included.
