Eric Foster, Partner, Patton Boggs LLP, Adjunct Professor, UB Law, and former NYC Program Director Amy Westbrook

The Program takes full advantage of being in New York City. In numerous lectures throughout the semester, leaders from government, civil society, academe, and the private sector speak to the students about international finance or world affairs more generally.

New York is also the home of globally prominent institutions, financial and otherwise. Through site visits and briefings, students participating in the Program gain a sense of "what it feels like" that is simply unobtainable in the classroom.
