In my program I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in community-based fieldwork. It’s been such a valuable experience for me.

In first year, the diversity of opportunities meant I could explore my interests. When it came time to pick my program, I listened to my heart.

My program afforded me the opportunity to intern at the U.S. Consulate General Toronto in the summer after my first year. I got to conduct research and prepare briefing documents on diverse policy issues. It was a life-changing experience, meeting with diplomats and well-respected professionals who are now incredible mentors.
