Reading recommendations from Lucia and the international law faculty
One of my many roles on our team is liaising with our LLM degree, in which capacity I work closely with my colleague Lucia, the primary administrator of that program.

Rita’s transition to working from home was perhaps the most complicated of anyone on our team, given that she somehow pulled off a move in the middle of the weirdest time in memory. Both she and her home office colleagues are now getting settled in to their new work space.

From the home office: Nora returns to Fletcher
Somewhat overshadowed by the business of the season and the strangeness of the times has been our great delight in welcoming Nora back to Fletcher.

Introducing Yaritza

There’s lots of work to be done as we process and evaluate applications, and prepare to release admissions decisions!

Introducing Rita
We’ve got one remaining introduction to make to readers, closing out a few weeks of welcoming new faces to the blog, and to our team. Rita Berglund joined the team last week as our new Staff Assistant, and we’re delighted to have her here. Current and prospective applicants to Fletcher should take particular note, as Rita is likely to be the first face greeting visitors to our office, and may also be a first point of contact for phone and email inquiries, as well. I’ll let Rita take things from here.
