Hi DC Global Leadership Scholars.

You must be logged into your NYU account to view the bulletin displayed on the page. Alternatively, you can download the PDF version here.
Getting your NYU student ID, known around campus as your NYUCard, is now easier than ever.
First-time card holders: visit photoid.nyu.edu to submit a photo online and, once approved by the NYUCard Center team, have your NYUCard created. Visiting students, please submit a photo ASAP so it can be processed and sent to your study away site ahead of your arrival. The final deadline to submit this is Friday, July 29.
Note: If you receive an automated message after submission instructing you to pick your card up at the ID Center, please disregard. Your ID will be sent directly to NYU Washington, DC.
Current and returning students: Please remember to bring your NYU ID card with you to your study away site! Apply for and pick up a replacement card if you need one by visiting the NYUCard Center or respective campus location, depending on your school. For details, please click here.
The NYU Bursar will send bills via email on July 19. Please keep an eye on your NYU email account for your NYU Washington, DC, bill. You can also log directly into eSuite to view your billing statements. These will be due in full by August 9.
Visiting students, if financial aid money from your school is going to transfer to NYU and/or your school pays on your behalf, it is okay if these anticipated payments arrive after the bill becomes due. Only the portion of the bill that you are personally responsible for paying directly to NYU must arrive by the due date.
Additionally, if you anticipate receiving any portion of your bill in the form of a refund, we recommend setting up direct deposit with NYU. Instructions on how to do so can be found on the Bursar’s website here.
Note: you can make your parents an “authorized user” of your e-bill account, if payments are typically made by them. For instructions on how to set this up, please see here. Questions about the e-billing process? View the Contact Us page on the Bursar’s website to reach out.
The following form is an anonymous resource that will serve to help facilitate the discussions necessary to create a positive living environment at NYU Washington, DC. The NYU Washington, DC will use your responses to help facilitate the assignment process. Please note that you may see similar questions on the housing portal. Please complete both forms. The form is due by July 1st.
During the first couple of weeks on site, you, your roommate(s), and your Residential Life Administrator will discuss the terms of this Agreement. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact Residential Life Coordinator, Gillian Scott at gillian.scott@nyu.edu

NYU Washington, DC, provides students with unique opportunities to intern in the nation’s capitol because the site has cultivated special relationships with various organizations in DC. If you are still looking for a fall 2016 internship, don’t worry! You may visit this link to identify the available opportunities that best align with your interests or course of study.
In addition, previous students have recommended internships at the Department of Justice, particularly for those students interested in environmental studies. For more details about these internships, please review this brochure. The application deadline is July 1st.
Remember: Many of the best internships in Washington, DC require a thorough background check by law enforcement agencies, which means you need to apply much earlier than other internship opportunities.
Before you begin your search, you must complete the resume review and internship process form. Go here for specific questions about the internship process at NYU Washington, DC.
If you have any questions or concerns about interning, feel free to contact Tom McIntyre, NYUDC Direct of External Affairs, at tom.mcintyre@nyu.edu.

To help you prepare for your semester at NYU Washington, DC, please take a few moments to review the Fire Safety Guide.

NYU Washington, DC, has a new Politics course offering this fall!
Identities in American Politics in the 21st Century – POL-UA 9994 – 4 points
This course focuses on how identity–in all its forms–is seeing a resurgence in contemporary American politics and public policy. We will examine how changing demographics are affecting the parties’ electoral strategies, their platforms, and the policies enacted once in office, and we will explore literature on inter-group relations, prejudice and discrimination. We will endeavor to understand the increasing influence of some identity groups (such as LGBT, gun owners, Latinos, and Mormons) on politics, and the declining impact of other groups (such as labor unions). We will be particularly attuned to the question of whether identity is eclipsing other concerns (such as preferences for policy) in Americans’ party identification, voting behavior, and their general understanding of the political landscape. We will consider how new technologies–including social media, data-driven campaigns, and an increasingly heterogeneous political news environment–are affecting and sustaining these dynamics.
