Nicholas Marwell, MALD 09, United States

“Deciding on Fletcher was easy after sitting in on Professor Glennon's Public International Law class during the Admitted Student Open House. I still remember some of the great questions asked during that hour and twenty minutes. After that class, I made up my mind: Fletcher was the challenging academic experience I was looking for.”

“It's hard to overstate how important my peers are to my education here at Fletcher, a testament to the cultural diversity and exciting professional experiences that Fletcher students bring to the classroom. My study groups often feel like intimate classes taught by a panel of young professors, whether it's former think-tankers and military officers providing practitioner-level analysis of the changing role of military force in the international arena or discussions about China's energy investment policies illuminated by officials working in the Japanese foreign ministry.”

“As someone making a career change, I'm especially grateful to have a resource like Fletcher's Career Service office. They are caring, connected, and not afraid to administer some tough love in getting Fletcher student's prepared for the intense competition of the international job market.”
