Erich Wagner, MA 08, USA
“I had wanted my postgraduate degree for a long time, but due to operational commitments in the Marine Corps, I was never able. God blessed me with several choices for graduate school, but I decided on Fletcher for two reasons. First, the incredibly responsive, accessible, enthusiastic and willing alumni and the positive response they related of their time at Fletcher. They always returned my question-filled emails and even contacted me—unsolicited—on their own. No other university did this. Second, the respect that the Fletcher name carries in the arena of International Relations enticed me.”
