Class of 2010 Session Overview

“MIT Seminar XXI broadened my perspective, and more importantly it sharpened my focus. This experience has helped me cut through the distracting daily noise to expose the core concerns that matter. I recommend this first rate program to anyone seeking senior leadership roles that manage cross-cutting security and foreign affairs issues.”
Meghan Gregonis Foreign Service Officer, U.S. Department of State
