Students and faculty took seminars about human trafficking.
Bloomfield College students stopped by the United Nations in New York City to attend seminars about human trafficking. Recently, 29 senior nursing students, five faculty members and College Chaplain Rev. Sherry Karasik were given a private tour of the United Nations building and spent the afternoon with Carol Smolenski of ECPAT, a worldwide organization devoted to ending human trafficking in all areas of society.
