The Community of Scholars program will introduce students to the advancing fields of U.S. foreign policy, cross-cultural communication, and international peace and conflict resolution. Students will experience how national and international leaders put theory into practice by attending virtual briefings with guest speakers from institutions, such as World Bank and embassies. In addition, students will participate an SIS alumni panel discussion and hear from professional staff at AU’s Career Center and Undergraduate Admissions. Taking a college course helps prepare students for the expectations of higher education and will add value to their college applications and resumes.
