As President Trump wraps up his trip around Asia, next steps for the U.S. and North Korea remain unclear. Early in his trip, the President left the door open for diplomatic talks between the two nations. And then, just a few days later, he tweeted that he would never call Kim Jong-un “short and fat” […]
How do you train a diplomat, a businesswoman, or a soldier to be an effective, transformational leader in a religiously pluralistic world?

Here at Fletcher we’re fortunate to have a plethora of extremely impressive (and humble) alumni who are willing to give back to their alma mater by sharing insights and personal experiences with the next generation.

To put this into context, we are now closer to a nuclear […]
This has been a week of ups and downs. It often seems like that, of late.
The current state of geopolitics and the general everyday grind means we have serious issues to face (see: my conversation with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business on the latest war of words between President Trump and North […]
As I walked around campus these past two weeks, it has been thrilling to see our sea of new faces. The start of a new school year is always filled with exciting novelty – new courses to take, new faculty members to welcome and, of course, a new cohort of inspiring students beginning their Fletcher […]
You might have thought the latest season of Game of Thrones wrapped in August, but it appears that Kim Jung-un didn’t want the show to end just yet. When it comes to North Korea, winter is most certainly coming. Tensions on the Korean peninsula are at the highest point since the Korean War following the […]
