Founded in 2024, the Global Affairs Program is founded on the belief that students are indispensable voices in shaping both the present and future of global affairs. In a world marked by rapid change and enduring challenges, young perspectives are more vital than ever. GAP provides a platform for 50 carefully selected students from around the world to share their ideas within this environment.
GAP welcomes students from all over the world, and views diversity in thought and background as a key to the program's success. In particular, GAP seeks to attract students who would otherwise not have engaged with the IOP.
