Carol Dahir
School counseling students have benefited from Dahir's cultural awareness. Since 2008, she has organized six academic and cultural excursions for school counseling graduate students. They have worked with universities in Istanbul, Izmir, and Ankara. The result has been a partnership between NYIT, its School of Education, and the Turkish Cultural Center in New York City, where faculty and students have participated in events organized around the “Year of Turkey” at NYIT.

Farzana Gandhi
Gandhi believes that it is imperative that we offer our students lateral and comprehensive ways of thinking, communication, and visual representation in our increasingly connected world. After leading students in a traveling design studio program in India, she said, I was happy to see our students engaging so critically with local architects. Discussions centered on pressing contemporary issues that could inform solutions locally, but also within larger global contexts.
