CEMS students attend 2019 European Student Conference at Yale

CEMS undergraduate Carine Zambrano and Global Journalism/European-Mediterranean Studies graduate Joseph Zeballos were sponsored by CEMS to attend the 2019 European Student Conference at Yale, organized by European Horizons. Zambrano reported that, "The policy paper workshop allowed us to not only widen our understandings of how the European Union works but also to hear feedback and thoughts from academics and seasoned politicians of the EU who served as advisors. The panels, which included João Vale de Almeida and Klaus Welle among many others, were interesting and offered an insider's perspective on many issues that the EU currently faces, such as Brexit and how the EU fits into this multipolar modern world order we live in."
