30 NYU students traveled to the 2011 FOCUS Conference in Baltimore, MD. Focus, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, is an organization dedicated to "national outreach that meets college students where they are and invites them into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith." Small teams of FOCUS missionaries, young people who have dedicated a year after graduation for the purpose of evangelizing and energizing the Catholic student community, are present on nearly 50 college campuses across the nation.

Over 1500 students from all over the east cost attended the conference to gain new perspective on their Catholic faith and answer the Church's call to new evangelization. The program included (among other things) inspiring, insightful speakers, Mass, Eucharistic adoration, and opportunity for confession. Representatives and exhibits from religious communities, colleges, and Catholic service programs abounded outside the main ballroom and Catholic students from all over the country had an opportunity to mingle with other students, priests, and religious.
