Speed Diplomacy

As you may know, this week is International Education Week! It started off with a bang with Speed Diplomacy. Based on the "speed dating" concept, students from our International Diplomacy Program had five minutes to have a conversation with various staff or faculty members. It was a hit and we can't wait to do it all over again next year. And now for the photos:

Dis any of you participate in the Speed Diplomacy? If so, please share your experience in the comments!
