In a special recorded message at the opening of the Spring 2024 Diplomacy Lab Fair at the US Department of State in Washington DC last month, United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that for every problem, someone, somewhere has an answer, or at least an idea worth trying. Some of the ideas that he referred to came from the University of Virginia students participating in the Diplomacy Lab program.
While generals plan attacks with rockets, artillery, missiles and guns, two dozen University of Virginia students are looking at ways to rebuild one Ukrainian city when the fighting stops.The students are part of a School of Architecture class working with the Diplomacy Lab, part of the U.S.
