Why I chose Fletcher: I chose Fletcher because I
wanted to gain a global perspective through an education that
prioritizes analyzing world issues through an interdisciplinary,
multicultural lens. Surpassing cultures and borders, this is a truly
international school that recognizes the value of a diverse community.
With its outstanding faculty, flexible curriculum, brilliant
international student body and vast alumni network, the Fletcher school
empowers its students to trace their own path to their dream job and
have fun in the process.
How I plan to use my experience at Fletcher to make a difference in the world: By
focusing on International Environment and Resource Policy and Conflict
Resolution, I developed a set of hard and soft skills along with a
wide breadth of knowledge that will allow me to bring a socially
responsible perspective to the private sector. With Fletcher’s flexible
and interdisciplinary curriculum, I was able to pick and choose the
classes, organizations, and events that I believe are important for me
not only to advance in, but also to better understand my career choice.
