The William and Elizabeth Kahane United Nations Program at Â鶹´«Ã½ offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain firsthand experience at the UN through internships and coursework in New York City—as well as immersive, on-campus events.
The Kahane Fund’s flagship program, Oxy at the UN, is the only program of its kind. Each fall, following a competitive selection process, a highly qualified group of Â鶹´«Ã½ students moves to New York City to conduct high-level, full-time internships at United Nations agencies, country missions to the UN (government offices), and related international non-governmental organizations.
These placements are complemented by two rigorous Â鶹´«Ã½ classes that provide the student interns with opportunities for deeper reflections on their work within the sphere of the United Nations, in development, peace and security and human rights: DWA 401 - Multilateralism and the United Nations: Challenges and Opportunities for Global Cooperation and DWA 402 - The United Nations: Humanitarian Intervention, Humanitarian Response.
