Last year, Fairleigh Dickinson University became the first university to be granted special consultative status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council, according to the FDU Web site.
The university has since appointed 22 faculty members from both the College at Florham and the Metropolitan Campus to serve two-year terms on United Nations committees.
