UN-Intensive-Summer-Study-Program-Schedule.pdf (464KB)The United Nations Intensive Summer Study Program, designed for graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and mid-career professionals, immerses participants in the political dynamics of the United Nations. This week-long program familiarizes students with the inner workings of the UN by bringing them together with distinguished practitioners working in the field of multilateral diplomacy. After 3 years held remotely, this program will return to its original in-person format, held near UN headquarters, for 2023.
The Program will be held from June 5-9, 2023.
In its 24th year, the program is structured around a series of in-person briefings led by two-dozen UN officials and representatives of governments and civil society on a range of global issues currently on the UN agenda. Participants will be immersed in candid, off-the-record sessions near UN headquarters in New York City for 10 hours each day the entire week of the program.
More information about the program is available at: https://www.shu.edu/academics/united-nations-summer-program.cfm
The application deadline is April 1, 2023. For additional information, contact Dr. Courtney Smith at (973) 313-6203 or courtney.smith@shu.edu.
