Today was my favorite day on our itinerary so far. I very much enjoyed the discussion on human trafficking we had at Webster Vienna. Even though Marion Mansberger could not be there to give her presentation, I was happy to give a short one to our class. Hopefully, it was informative to everyone.
I also feel fortunate to have briefly met Dr. Weeks, who gave a talk about human trafficking and the University’s symposium on the topic with the UN. I plan to contact him regarding his work in the area of human trafficking research, and for any resources he knows of that can inform my own research for this class. Also, I am a bit envious of the access the students at the Vienna campus have to the UN. It would be very exciting to be a student at Webster Vienna, and organize talks at the UN headquarters. Just the same, I feel privileged to be part of our class because of the access I’ve gained to the people and places we’ve visited during this course.

Thanks so much, Jenn, for this link. It's encouraging to know what important work Webster is involved in!
