"My experience in Washington has exceeded my wildest expectations in sharpening and furthering my academic development. As a research assistant, I co-authored two papers and worked with public and private sector leaders in the founding of SAGE-Strengthening America's Global Engagement-the first independent public diplomacy organization in the United States. The unique nature of my academic course-most embodied in the fact that it was actually taught in the headquarters of Amnesty International-has made it a valuable experience as well."
