CCIP activities (Session A)
The Cross Cultural Internship Program (CCIP) with special thanks to Columbia University, the United Nations and others, is proud to announce the list of student activities for the first session of its 2010 summer program in New York. This also marks a very special step forward in student involvement: students were given the opportunity to suggest and then decide themselves on the activities that would be made available.
This summer, the Cross Cultural Internship Program will be providing four very special activities for Session A students. The activities will include a tour of the United Nations, a campus visit to Columbia University, a walk along Fifth Avenue for the Museum Mile, and a roundtable on healthcare reform.
The first activity, at the Museum Mile Festival, is scheduled for June 8. It will have CCIP students experiencing an art celebration with over 50,000 others and breathing in a big breath of New York as they go down from 105th to 82nd Street, touring nine of the country's finest museums.
The next two activities, both scheduled for Friday, June 25, will be a visit to the Columbia University campus and then a dash back downtown for a tour of the United Nations. The Columbia University campus tour will once again be back on the activity roster due to positive feedback from CCIP's 2009 students.
Students will then trek to Morningside Heights and gather on the steps of the Low Memorial Library. From there, they will receive their first glimpse of one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the state of New York. Afterwards the students will head down to midtown for a guided tour of the United Nations. There, CCIP students will come to understand the work of the UN as it is presented to them through young guides of worldwide backgrounds not unlike their own.
In addition, there will be a roundtable given by Atlantis Health Plan taking place at the Flushing YMCA on June 10. Jeffrey Meena, a seasoned healthcare consultant with over 20 years of experience in both the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, will be leading the discussion. He will be giving a presentation on healthcare reform, one of the most talked-about topics in America today.
Special thanks go to Esther Chi-Ting Wong of Hong Kong University, who helped the program come up with the 2010 activities. For her efforts, Esther was recognized at the Session A orientation and given two tickets to the Queens Botanical Garden. Student's choice and these activities all represent a very special step forward in student involvement. This will undoubtedly push CCIP's evolution and growth forward in new and exciting ways.
