I couldn't wait to hear what Lisa Ling had to say about it, said DiMaria.
Ling's lecture stressed the idea that experiencing the way other parts of the world live first hand, is the most effective form of diplomacy.
"If you treat people like human beings it goes a long way," said Ling.
Junior Matt Jarvis said he was inspired by Ling's basic view of journalistic style and global presentation.
"Lisa Ling's outlook and endeavors are not only moving, but encouraging to both students like myself and young journalists," said Jarvis.
"If you truly want to elevate humanity, then you have to take a stand," Ling said.
Senior Amanda Dematteis said she learned more than she anticipated from the lecture and was pleased with the outcome.
"It's nice to see someone in mainstream America with such an optimistic and idealistic view of what our world can be like," said Dematteis.
Ling closed with a quote from Oprah Winfrey, that she advised the audience to engage.
"Now that you know, you can't pretend that you don't."
