As an NYU Abu Dhabi student, I learned the power of digesting and navigating intellectual discomfort as both a window for personal growth and for constructive conversations. With the growing global crisis on forced migration, the Rhodes allowed me to engage with a diverse cohort of visionaries committed to the delivery of humane, effective, and sustainable outcomes.
