“MIT’s Seminar XXI provided a unique opportunity to interact with the foremost academics and engage in stimulating discussions with colleagues from the US military as well as the private sector. It was an enriching experience which allowed me to bring new proposals to the never-ending challenges we face in the Department of State.”
