Fletcher’s fabulous students and what they’re up to.
Long time no see! I trust that all you students are relishing your summer vacation. For those among you who are employed, you may be contemplating how to best utilize your summer recess. As for myself, I am currently situated outside the United States. In this blog entry, I aim to provide a summary of the past year, encompassing the completion of my studies at Fletcher during the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters.
Read MoreIt was only last August I was struggling for a US visa, unsure if it would even come. But it surely did come at the nick of time and I began a journey into the unknown – unknown land, unknown people, unknown subjects, unknown systems, and unknown food habits!
Read MoreThis year for spring break my mom and I traveled to Spain to hike the Camino de Santiago. The Camino de Santiago is a pilgrimage to the burial place of St. James the Great in Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Each year, thousands of pilgrims walk for days, weeks, or even months to Santiago.
Read MoreSpring break just went by, meaning differently for different students. For some this was an opportunity to explore the USA, some visited family and friends, some just did some unwinding and as for me – I took the opportunity to engage in some more in-depth research in topics relating to humanitarian justice and writing two papers (with support of two of my professors, one in the UN and another at the world bank).
Read MoreHello again! I am excited to post a mid-spring post and restart my classes after a well-deserved break. In this post, I will describe my spring break in Israel, summer plans, and classes.
Read MoreIt’s hard to believe Emma and her fellow second-year students are weeks away from finishing their time at Fletcher. While there’s still plenty left to do in a short time, having a job nailed down is surely a big item checked off her “to-do” list!
Read MoreHi Blog readers — I’m Jessica, former blogger-in-chief, and now an occasional guest writer.
As you probably know, Fletcher released admission decisions a few weeks ago, and nearly all those yeses and nos went to applicants to our master’s-level programs. A relatively small number of responses winged their way to applicants to the school’s PhD Program in International Relations. You might be one of the handful of newly admitted PhD students but, since there are very few, you’re more likely to be wondering why you would care about the PhD program, as you’re researching graduate schools. I’m here to tell you why!
Read MoreHello all! It has been a while since my last post, and I am excited to update you all on what I have been up to. I am currently writing this blog post while sitting in my favorite study spot on campus, the Ginn reading room. I must admit I am becoming quite sentimental while writing as it is my last semester at Fletcher.
Read MoreWow. I am sure I share the shock, sadness, and excitement of being at the final stretch of my time at Fletcher with the rest of my cohort.
Read MoreHello again! I am excited to begin the next semester after a well-deserved break. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to attend classes in-person this semester, in addition to the previous one. As this is my first experience studying abroad for an extended period, I have encountered a plethora of new experiences and challenges. I find it hard to believe that a quarter of my semesters at Fletcher have already passed.
