Easwaran Narassimhan - Summer Session 2011, 2012

I had little idea I’d get to attend a school as diverse and dynamic as the Fletcher School until the summer of 2011. Coming from an engineering background, I wanted a place where I could interact with a multidisciplinary crowd to understand the nexus of economic development, policy making and the politics involved in implementing those policies. I found exactly that at Fletcher which taught me how issues that involve many dimensions of study could actually be discussed in an effective way in one interdisciplinary course. Fletcher has since changed the way I think, analyze and talk about many of the socio-economic issues this world faces today.  After a summer that piqued my interest in economic development and public policy, I had every reason to come back for another summer session in 2012 to chart my long term career aspirations. The faculty and staff at the summer session took genuine interest in helping decide the courses that fulfilled my objectives. Every day I was amazed at the warmth I received from students, faculty and staff and the effortless manner in which they made me feel like a part of the community.
