Last October 20, 2023 the Fordham IPED 2025 Cohort visited various United Nations offices in Manhattan, New York for career talks. As a yearly activity for IPED students, the new cohort was excited to spend the day together and listen to IPED alumni and other speakers about their career options at the United Nations and its various programmes and departments.

They started the day at the United States Mission to the United Nations (USUN), where they learned about the US Foreign Service program and what work is like for a country mission to the United Nations.
