Since 1988, I have been running a week-long program for high school students interested in international relations under the auspices of Georgetown’s School for Continuing Studies. This afternoon about 229 high school students will check into the dorms to begin an intensive exploration of international relations. Working as the Student Coordinator for the Program is Ena Dekanic, a Georgetown student who has worked twice as a counselor for the Program and has extensive experience with Georgetown’s International Relations Association and Club.
Here is a list of many of the topics and speakers:
