“My international studies major greatly guided my path after graduation towards a career in international affairs. The base this degree provided me allowed me to blend so many of my interests into a career supporting activists and the building of global social movements around the world. The PICS program prepared me to work in the democracy space by creating space for me to build by diverse country knowledge, providing opportunities to travel and learn languages, and understand global political developments in greater nuance.”
