“This week I trekked through the snowy NYC streets. We visited Permanent Missions, the UNDP (The Africa Bureau and the Conflict Prevention Department), the UN Department of Global Communications, and other think tanks and publications. The ability to speak with IR practitioners and learn about their experiences in the field is priceless — saying that I am thankful for this opportunity is an understatement! I feel very inspired and supported by such a wonderful community at Pardee.” - Alexis Morgan, Master’s in International Affairs
