From left to right: students Haidy Duran and Akimi Yano; Ambassador Junichi Ihara of Japan, the next chairperson of the World Trade Organization’s General Council; and students Gunther Errhalt, Brigid Flay, Wyatt Mince, Théo Tournemille, and Cameron Small. (All students other than Tournemille are MAITED ’18; Tournemille was a non-degree exchange student at the Institute from Science Po Bordeaux during fall semester 2017.)

Given the opportunity to customize their own immersive learning experience, six students in the Institute’s International Trade and Economic Diplomacy program designed and executed a week-long trip to Geneva, Switzerland over spring break that saw them meet with leading officials at organizations including the World Trade Organization (WTO) and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
