Classroom feedback with MALD student Diana and Prof. Ebrahim

May 9, 2019 Daniel Birdsall 76 Views Cool stuff!

Professor Alnoor Ebrahim is one of Fletcher’s most popular instructors. Don’t take my word for it: check him out receiving the Paddock Teaching Award (sort of the Best Professor Oscar at Fletcher) at last year’s commencement ceremonies. We were extremely fortunate to have him as a member of the Admissions Committee a few years ago, and his thoughtfulness was a huge asset to our work. It’s also on display during orientation week at the beginning of each academic year in the “Rules of Engagement” session he administers, in which he encourages new students to take a few moments to consider how they can create respectful and productive relationships with all members of the Fletcher community, including student colleagues, faculty, and administrators. He’s an expert at creating an inclusive and welcoming environment.

Gary’s annotated curriculum

May 2, 2019 Daniel Birdsall 211 Views Annotated Curriculum

Our next annotated curriculum post comes from Gary. As a PhD student, Gary has a variety of curricular and program requirements that make his path distinct from a typical MALD, though he still also has to fulfill many of the core MALD requirements. As you’ll see, it makes for a very busy first couple of years at Fletcher!

Tufts 100K New Ventures Competition – Fletcher cleans up!

April 11, 2019 Daniel Birdsall 131 Views Cool stuff!, entrepreneurship

Not too long ago I congratulated current Fletcher student Farah Momen on receiving this year’s D-Prize for The Now Exchange (TNE), an enterprise providing health access and agency to Bangladeshi women in that country’s garment industry. We recently learned that Farah and her business partner Giulia Bova are continuing an awards run that would make Rami Malek and Bohemian Rhapsody jealous, having also just placed first in the Social Impact Track of the Tufts $100K New Ventures Competition!
