About the CGA The Center for Global Affairs (CGA), within the NYU <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Continuing</strong> <strong>and</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essional <strong>Studies</strong> (NYU-SCPS), facilitates change by educating <strong>and</strong> inspiring our community to become global citizens capable <strong>of</strong> identifying <strong>and</strong> implementing solutions to pressing global challenges. We believe that the development <strong>of</strong> solutions to global problems must be informed by an underst<strong>and</strong>ing that the world’s challenges are not merely challenges for <strong>and</strong> among states, but also challenges for <strong>and</strong> among non-state actors, urban <strong>and</strong> rural communities, regional organizations, <strong>and</strong> traditional diplomatic outlets. Through rigorous graduate <strong>and</strong> continuing education programs <strong>and</strong> public events, we prepare global citizens who are at home in all <strong>of</strong> these environments—<strong>and</strong> thus effective agents <strong>of</strong> change.
