CISV Parent Andrea Rizzi visits NYU at Abu Dhabi, UAE

 



“In February, I was invited to participate in a counselor tour of New York University’s campus in Abu Dhabi, UAE. During my visit, students at the University from Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas shared an object that reminded them of home and explained its significance. For me, watching and listening to these students reminded me of the CISV experiences our children have when they attend a Village, Youth Meeting, or Step-Up program. It was a beautiful and incredible blend of races, cultures and nationalities. Having students from such diverse backgrounds and cultures transforms the education that is being received in the classroom. If students want a collegiate experience that mirrors the experiences they are having through CISV, then they should seriously consider NYUAD when the time comes to begin their college search.” To read Andrea’s full essay, click here.
