DAAD New York Looks Back on 50 Years! |
|
|
|
"During my time in New York, we engaged with new partners and audiences. We reached out to Historically Black and Latino universities, we started a major campaign to connect Canadian and German academics, and we highlighted the topic of 'The Refugee Crisis and Higher Education' together with the German UN mission. Great 'Sound Understanding' concerts and art shows were organized, as well as exciting events with the DWIH. In short: It was a cornucopia of wonderful experiences and memories."
-Nina Lemmens
Director, DAAD New York, 2014-2018
