Fairleigh Dickinson University in collaboration with the Ambassador's Club at the United Nations sponsors interactive video conferences with the UN every semester. Video conferences feature several ambassadors, delegates and academics debating current global issues, followed by a question and answer session with faculty, students and staff. Live video feed from the United Nations is broadcast to both of the Fairleigh Dickinson University campuses.
In the Fall of 2002, FDU extended an invitation to participate to Rider University in New Jersey. In the Spring of 2003, Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania joined the program and in Fall 2003, Roger Williams University in Rhode Island was added to the list of participants in the UN video-conference program.
Colleges and universities interested in joining the program, please contact Malavika Khullar malavika@fdu.edu for more information.
