We got word from Katie Callaghan '03 the other day. After graduation Katie went on Peace Corps, like so many of our graduates, and was based in a village in Panama (the stories she told were something else). This fall Katie began graduate school at American University in their International Development Program.
She writes: "in addition to classes, I'm working at the Academy on Human Rights at the American University Washington College of Law where my official role is to help coordinate a Human Rights Summer Program that they do each May-June. They offer classes in both Spanish and English on topics related to Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (mainly focusing on Latin America) and bring in professors and speakers from all over the globe who work with or study Human Rights. There are people from different European and Latin American universities as well as directors from programs like the United Nations Development Programme."
Katie says classes are going well and that she likes the program. Another educational option for PG students who might be thinking about graduate school down the road.
Best wishes for grad school, Katie, and we look forward to hearing more about the program.
