Why Fletcher
I chose Fletcher because it allows me to study business in an interdisciplinary curriculum. Nowadays, everything is connected, so you cannot talk about business or the environment or security in isolation; these subjects overlap, and Fletcher allows me to study all of these subjects through a business lens.
On the Fletcher community
Even though I only arrived at Fletcher a couple months ago, the conversations that I have had with my classmates and fellow students have opened my eyes to new perspectives. People come from different backgrounds, cultures, and countries. Seeing different points of view about the same topic is super interesting, and it opens your mind to new approaches and solutions to problems. Being a part of this community is worth more than most lectures about diversity.
On the alumni network
It's amazing how the Fletcher alumni network supports you even before you matriculate. They are always welcoming and willing to help you; the honest conversations and advice they've given me have always been worthwhile and super useful.
