Hostos Community College Student Profile
Elizabeth Soriano
June 15, 2009
Elizabeth was born in the Dominican Republic and came to the United States in 2004. In a very short time as a student at Hostos Community College, Elizabeth has participated in a variety of programs and been supported by the entire college community in her search to find the road that she wants to travel on. Elizabeth’s goal is to become a bilingual therapist and have her own clinical practice. She would love to work with adolescents and adults to provide them with a forum to discuss their issues and challenges from a proper cultural perspective. This is important for her, because being a Latina immigrant, she could not find a therapist to help her to address her concerns from her cultural point of view and it was frustrating to her.

UNU Television
Interview with Clark Matthews, "Technology & Liberty" Column at TekConcepts, and Dr. Joe-Joe McManus, Director, Leadership Academy at CUNY
October 30, 2008
About the Dialogue: What followed was an informative and lively discussion about issues ranging from possible research topics, to engagement with Africa, the evaluation of research impact and public-private partnership opportunities. While the pertinence and utility of UNU-ONY’s efforts were lauded by many participants, several helpful suggestions were put forward regarding possible improvements to current programmes. These included surveying a range of institutions in the private sector, the civil society and academia to gather non-UN opinions on future tasks for UNU-ONY, considering the impact of the technology gap on web-casting access to UNU events in Africa, striving to influence UN policy to tackle causes rather than effects of global issues such as poverty, modernising the conception of “think-tank” and articulating the needs of international policy-makers with the means of the academic community and vice versa.
