The event will take place on Friday, January 30, 2015 at CUA’s campus. This is the fourth year for this annual event that brings together embassies and the CUA community.

GFDD and the Embassy of the Dominican Republic will exhibit beautiful aerial photos from the book “New Perspectives: Dominican Republic,” published by GFDD, as well as promotional material on all of GFDD’s initiatives aiming to increase collaboration between the Dominican Republic and the United States, especially the internship and academic exchange programs InteRDom, Global Dominican American Exchange (GDAE) and the Fellows Program. During the exhibit, GFDD staff will answer questions and discuss programs with students and faculty of CUA.
