“I would not be where I am today without the John Glenn College. The Washington Academic Internship Program was the defining experience of my undergraduate education, and it absolutely shaped the trajectory of my career path in foreign policy. In my work at USAID in international disaster response and humanitarian aid, I use the knowledge, skills and connections I gained from the Glenn College on a daily basis.”
