Meet our Students
The people I have met and the voices I heard from such diverse backgrounds inspired me to pursue a career to shape policies that can impact their lives.
It’s great to be part of a community of people with similar interests and a passion for changing the status quo. All the classmates I have met so far have super interesting backgrounds and are really thoughtful and inspiring individuals.
I love GU politics’ fellowship program. I get to listen to and speak to remarkable figures in public service in the United States, which is critical to understanding how international policies are made.
