Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC)
Join fellow international students for once-in-a-lifetime chance to network, share your views, and visit a part of the U.S. many locals never get to see!
The Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC) has been held annually since 1960. The conference is a mix of speeches and panels featuring high-ranking military and civilian leaders, as well as discussion roundtables and social events. Past speakers have included former U.S. Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. At their discussion sessions, delegates will get the opportunity to react to the contents of the speeches, to more personally meet other delegates, and to guide the conversation by voicing their opinion on the many subtopics related to the conference theme. Around 1-3 international delegates will be assigned to each roundtable, along with student delegates from civilian and military institutions from around the United States.
One To World’s delegation plays a special role in this prestigious foreign affairs conference by adding a critical international perspective to the student deliberations on U.S. foreign policy. As international student participants, One To World delegates enrich the conference with their various national and cultural perspectives, as well as their academic experience. In turn, American undergraduate conference participants and midshipmen from the Naval Academy share their cultural, political, and educational views with One To World’s delegates in an exciting academic and social setting.

Fulbright Research Sharing Series: Session 2
In an effort to offer meaningful educational exchanges between Fulbright grantees, One To World will continue its ongoing series where Fulbright scholars will have a platform to share their research to Fulbright student and scholar attendees. For this session, we are opening the event up to any others who may be interested in attending!
At our second session of the 2021-2022 academic year, Our presenter will be Fulbright scholar, Glyn Robbins from the United Kingdom, who will share his research on real estate development in New York (particularly the Bronx), and its effects on the community.
In March 2018, the City of New York, in the face of strong community opposition, approved the re-zoning (i.e. change of land use regulations) for Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, a two-mile corridor starting at Yankee Stadium and ending near Fordham University. Local people were concerned this would lead to the type of unaffordable housing, job losses and cultural shifts that have affected other parts of New York and many other cities.
The COVID pandemic delayed some of the potential changes, but now they seem to be gathering speed. LSE Visiting Fellow Glyn Robbins, currently in the Bronx as a Fulbright Scholar attached to CUNY Graduate Center, has recorded a significant upsurge of new development along Jerome Avenue, possibly confirming local residents' worst fears.
At this talk, Glyn will present his provisional research findings and inviting discussion about what the Jerome Avenue experience may tell us about the future of cities.
The session will end with a Q & A.
