New York University
NYU is as dynamic and groundbreaking as the city we call home. We remove the boundaries between the classroom and the world around us so that our students, faculty, and staff can meet today’s greatest challenges and opportunities with the confidence and grit NYUers are known for. With over 270 areas of study and a vibrant international community committed to making connections across disciplines and differences, this is the place to imagine what could be—and to start building it together.

Silver School professor Fred Ssewamala was raised as an orphan after losing his family to Uganda’s civil war in the 1980s. As a global health researcher, he has devoted 20 years of his career to developing support for children in remote villages, including the one where he grew up. The interventions are designed with one overarching goal: to improve the odds for youth who live with HIV and have lost one or both of their biological parents to the disease.

The Roztoky Masopust celebration, one of the traditional Czech festivals marking the start of Lent, is renowned for its music, giant puppets, and folk traditions. This year, about a dozen student musicians took the train out to the Prague suburbs to perform there, after preparing with two rehearsals organized by music ethnologist and music history instructor Matěj Kratochvíl. The ensemble learned a couple of Czech folk songs to perform at the start of the festival and during the parade itself.
