How I first learned about Fletcher:
I first learned about Fletcher through two Fletcher alumni who were
still working on their MALD degrees when they began mentoring me on a
career in the U.S. Foreign Service. When they discovered that I was
applying to graduate schools of international affairs, they both jumped
at the opportunity discuss Fletcher. I decided to visit the campus. To
my chagrin, I visited in December on a snow-covered, blistery
afternoon. Hailing from the South, I was skeptical I would survive
winter in the North. Not only did I successfully tough out the trip,
but I left with a great appreciation for the warm atmosphere created by
the faculty and staff at Fletcher.
