"GO! New York City holds a special place in my heart and my Fordham Career. As one of the most unique projects, GO! NYC allows students the opportunity to step outside of the Fordham gates and explore cultures from around the world—GO! NYC is GO! El Salvador, GO! South Africa, GO! Guyana combined! GO! NYC is one of the only projects that allows students to return to organizations and people they’ve encountered and continue to stay connected to the social justice issues surrounding poverty, racism, and immigration." -Danielle Egic FCRH '08
