This year the academy hosted over 20 students ranging from incoming freshman to 2nd year Master's students to hear our expert members speak on their regional and thematic expertise. The panels and lectures covered Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and North Africa, Russia-Ukraine, and China-Taiwan. Thematically, students learned about economic development, environmentalism, and the different career paths people can pursue in the foreign service apparatus.
