Class of 2012 Student Profiles

Amelia Hight , 2012, United States

On the international life I see for myself after Fletcher: I am particularly interested in the role of the international community in preventing and managing conflict and how various actors at the local, regional, and international levels interact in these processes. Ultimately, I plan to pursue a career in a research institute or non-governmental organization that has the ability to influence policy decisions at the international level.

How Fletcher has broadened my global perspective: Before coming to Fletcher, I was aware that the student and faculty were very diverse. What I didn’t realize was that I would be challenged, both in and out of my classes, by this diversity. At Fletcher you are constantly exposed to opinions that may be different from your own, which leads you to see the world from very different perspectives. I truly enjoy having the opportunity to learn from my fellow students, and I benefit from the broad diversity of experiences and backgrounds represented in the student body and faculty at The Fletcher School.
