I’ve been selected for a fellowship that will take place at the United Nations next month. The blurb my boss put in the company’s weekly inter-office newsletter explains it best:

Reporter Aaron Morrison has been chosen by UNITY: Journalists of Color Inc. for its Global Reporting Fellowship in partnership with the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS. The June 6-10 UN High-Level meeting on AIDS will be among the most important to take place in recent years around AIDS issues, where world leaders will take stock of global response after 30 years. The gathering presents an excellent opportunity for young journalists interested in honing their skills in international affairs, especially at a time when many news organizations in the United States are reducing international reporting. Morrison’s fellowship begins on June 5, when he and other fellows will meet for orientation ahead of the UN meetings. Congratulations, Aaron.

I’m pretty excited about it. I imagine the experience will be like this: http://youtu.be/a7O8mPlNlRY

Or not.
