Welcome to New York, Young Ambassadors!

This week, we welcomed a new cohort of Young Ambassadors to New York for a three-day workshop to learn all about DAAD and their new roles as Young Ambassadors! We also had some time to see the city, including a tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We had a blast meeting all of you and are excited to see the work you do on your campuses this year!

Learn more about the Young Ambassador program on our website, and stay tuned for profiles of our new cohort coming soon!
