Congratulations to International Affairs (Europe) major Jenna Patterson! Patterson has been accepted to the Alexander Hamilton Institute’s Washington Program on National Security. The 2019 program will be held in Washington, DC. A second student (also a member of the PSIA department) was chosen but preferred not to be named because of security concerns related to his future career field.

According to the program website: “The AHI WaPoNS program, now in its fourth year, aims to prepare promising and motivated college students for the challenges of a rapidly changing global environment by offering them an opportunity to engage with some of the best thinkers on and practitioners in the field of national security. These include both current and former officials in the Intelligence Community, Congress, the Pentagon, the White House, non-governmental organizations, industry, and academia, including members of premier think-tanks and news organizations. Participants will be afforded a rare inside glimpse of the many different cultures that must all work together to succeed. By observing the process of national security policymaking up close, from the perspective of the practitioners themselves, the program will serve to encourage and enhance the students’ leadership skills and open opportunities for future professional development.”
