Nearly 50 alumni, graduates of International Studies, SAIS and related programs, gathered at Washington, DC hot spot Hawthorne on August 10 to reconnect, network and show their Blue Jay spirit.  The event marked the launch of the new International Studies Affinity (Alumni) Group which consists of dedicated international studies alumni who want to give back to the program, current undergraduates, and fellow alumni by providing institutional knowledge and career assistance.  A good time was had by all!  For more information or to get involved with the International Studies Affinity (Alumni) Group contact Dr. Sydney Van Morgan ([email protected]).
