Three quick updates: a student, an alum, and a course

It may be busy around here, but I hate to let the blog languish for too many days, so here are three little stories, however quick, about a current student, one of our graduates, and a new Fletcher initiative.

First, the student.  Second-year MALD student Miranda Bogen let us know that she was a guest on a podcast in January about Internet law.  During the “This Week in Law” episode Miranda discussed extraterritoriality, dual-use technology/export controls, jurisdiction, discovery, and many other legal topics.  (Please note: Miranda is not a lawyer, but she has taken law classes here at Fletcher.)

Next, the alum.  Kafia Haile, F05, has followed up her DC career by pursuing her film-making interests, and she is receiving recognition for one of her screenplays.  Not many of our alumni have gone from Fletcher to the Pentagon to film school, but many of our alumni have pursued atypical careers.

Finally, this semester, Fletcher is partnering with the Digital Frontiers Institute to offer the first university certificate course in Digital Money, and Fletcher’s first-ever completely online course.  The course began last month and will cover all aspects of the digital payments and digital financial services ecosystem and value chain. We’re able to offer a limited number of scholarships for Fletcher students!  Interested?  Read more in the program brochure!
