ìSAIS has played a major role [in my career]. The solid international economics program with a focus on studying how economics and policy affect politics government and market behavior is one thing. The incomparable international student body, the caliber of the teaching community, and the ability of the school to attract speakers from important government agencies, international organizations, and numerous firms and institutions contribute significantly to help prepare graduates to face real world scenarios. And then, after graduation the network of alumni is so wide that at crucial moments there is always a SAISer to look up for advice, because either he/she has been involved in a similar project in the past, or because he/she has spent time in the country in question, or finally because he/she works or worked for the organization on the opposite side of the negotiation table.î
