Student Stories

Hello all! It is hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that I am already a fourth of the way through graduate school. My first semester at Fletcher was full of long nights studying, exploring a new city, making incredible friends and asking myself the dreaded “what am I going to do after graduation?” question. After one semester I can say that the fuzzy picture of what I want to do is getting clearer, but isn’t in full focus yet. I am excited to see how another semester sharpens that picture for me. As I head into my second semester, I wanted to take a moment and share with you some of my favorite memories from last semester.

It’s time to check in with our student bloggers as they begin their spring semester. We’ll start with Emma, who covered a lot of academic, professional, and geographic ground during the fall

Hi everyone! My name is Christine (she/her/hers) and I am a first year MALD candidate. My fields of study are Gender & Intersectional Analysis and Human Security & Humanitarian Affairs. I am so excited to be sharing my Fletcher journey with you over the next two years!

Today I’m happy to introduce blog readers to Vishal, another first-year MALD student whose Fletcher journey was catalyzed by a chance meeting in Italy. As a “Januarian” who matriculated in January 2021, Vishal is in the midst of his second Fletcher semester.

Greetings, Fletcher Admissions blog readers! I am so happy you are here! My name is Emma (she/her), and I am a first year MALD student from Rochester, NY. I am concentrating in international economics and international development/environmental policy. I am beyond thrilled to begin this journey and share my experiences at Fletcher.

Today we’ll hear from Princess, also “returning” to Fletcher for her second year of study and first year in-residence.
