On November 13, 2010, former German Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer gave a luncheon keynote speech at Princeton University in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of its Liechtenstein Institute on Self-determination (LISD). Rosy Yang discussed the state of international politics, global security, and the future of organizations such as the G8 and G20 with former Vice Chancellor Fischer.

Generation Rwanda is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 whose goal is to provide educational help to orphans and socially vulnerable youth in Rwanda by offering university scholarships and professional training to talented and motivated students. Today, there are nearly 200 Generation Rwanda scholars and 18 alumni. Michael Brotchner, Executive Director of Generation Rwanda, discusses the program, and Patricie Uwase and Phillip Murari, two Generation Rwanda Scholars (pictured below), share their experiences.
