New York City

Multiculturalism & communities

We utilize a blend of structured and unstructured activities and discussions to delve into how immigration has shaped the city of New York and its collective culture. We explore immigration through the lenses of past, present, and future issues and opportunities facing immigrant communities in the city. Students build their situational awareness of this global city while also having an important opportunity to build closer relationships with their peers.

Learning objectives

Students visit vibrant neighborhoods and cultural sites that demonstrate the true strength of NYC: its multicultural heritage and the celebration of different cultures, religions, and traditions. Sites includes TriBeCa, the High Line, Little Italy, and Canal Street, among others

Students understand that food is a common throughline of cultures around the world, and perhaps no city better showcases the diversity of global cuisine and its heritage than New York. We explore flavors and traditions of various immigrant populations in NYC.

Students tour some of our nation’s most famous memorials, considering the documented history memorialized within and also considering those stories that have gone untold.
