Reflections from the 2011 Rosenthal Class
Posted by Executive Office Administrator, 10/25/2011
Each summer, students from APSIA schools participate in the Harold W. Rosenthal Fellowship in International Relations. This year we placed 17 students in summer professional fellowship positions within the federal government. Here are some reflections from this year's class:
"This was an absolutely fantastic experience and I could not have asked for a better placement. At first I was a bit apprehensive about being placed with INL because it is a functional bureau, and I thought I wanted a true policy position. I have since come to appreciate that a great deal of policy is actually determined by the programs run out of INL/AP, and that policy papers without money or programming behind them are just pieces of paper. This experience has completely changed my career aspirations - I never would have considered concentrating in rule of law or law enforcement before working here." - Marie Kurth, University of Minnesota
