Alumni

Alumni play a key role in students’ achievement of their career and academic goals. Alumni are active in sharing career information with the university community and recruiting School of International Service students for internships and jobs. In recent years, alumni have hosted receptions and discussions in such diverse locations as the World Bank, the State Department, and the Academy for Educational Development.

Finally, the school’s 13,000-strong alumni community serves as an incomparable resource for current students and an example of the leading role played in international affairs by School of International Service graduates.

Patrick Quirk, SIS/MA '06

Management Associate, Conflict Prevention and Electoral Security at Creative Associates International; Ph.D. Candidate at Johns Hopkins University, specializing in International Relations, Security Studies, and Comparative Politics

"In addition to the exceptional accessibility and dedication to students, the faculty's blend of academic and practical experience brought a real world dimension to class discussions and course work. The knowledge and skills I gained at SIS have been invaluable in my professional work and in the publication of my first book."

Migael Penix

Migael Penix, SIS/MA '11 (Americas)

Rangel Fellow; Foreign Service Officer, U.S. Department of State

"I made the decision to come to SIS not only because it is situated in the U.S. capital, but also because AU's class scheduling allows you ample opportunity to experience everything in it. My classes have been taught by experienced passionate professors, who have made an effort to know me and my future goals, making the classes very relevant. AU has complemented the Rangel Fellowship program by providing opportunities, like attending seminars, high level speeches, and study abroad opportunities, which have and continue to enhance my understanding of the theoretical and practical components of international relations."
