Global perspectives. Real-world leadership. One incredible DC experience.

Today, our G20 Fly-In students had the opportunity to hear directly from former President of Poland Andrzej Duda and Ambassador Rafał Kos, Special Representative for Commercial & Business Affairs.

Students gained firsthand insight into President Duda’s work with the G20, international diplomacy, and the role global leaders play in navigating complex economic and geopolitical issues.

From the classroom to conversations with global leaders, FIU students are getting a front-row seat to the conversations shaping the world.

This is what learning in Washington, D.C. looks like. Impact Matters.
