Welcome to the ranks of International Studies Alumni! Congratulations Class of 2021!

“I am grateful for my time at USF, where work with Middle Eastern refugees was highly valued and in line with the university mission. I will miss my students and colleagues at USF but am looking forward to new opportunities and continued work in my field.”⁣

We miss her so much already but are so excited about this next phase in her career! Join us in wishing her well!

Thanks Danielle (BAIS '13) for passing along these two job opportunities with the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom!

There are less than 10 hours left in our challenge! While USF is more than half way to their 1,855 donor goal, International Studies could really use your help to make our goal. Any amount will help! https://www.givecampus.com/schools/UniversityofSanFrancisco/international-studies-day-of-the-dons

On , we encourage you to celebrate your experience in the BAIS and MAIS programs by supporting the International Studies Gift Fund or the William Goldman Scholarship Fund for Work in Diplomacy. Your gift will help us to continue to provide scholarships, research travel, and student support for the next generation of International Studies students. Thanks for supporting us and our mission!

Hello IS Alums! Check out this awesome fellowship in DC - deadline is coming up quickly, so apply today!

Calling all recent (and soon-to-be) college and graduate school alumni: If you're passionate about international peace and security issues, and looking to work on them in Washington, DC, the Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship may be for you: The next application deadlines are January 7, 2019 (fall 2019 semester) and October 1, 2019 (spring 2020 semester).

Here's more info:

The Scoville Fellowship offers six to nine-month salaried positions in the nation's capital with more than two dozen think tanks and advocacy groups. Scoville Fellows are supervised by senior-level staff members at the host institutions and may work on a range of issues including nuclear and conventional arms control and nonproliferation, conflict prevention and resolution, diplomacy, and environmental and energy security. They contribute to their host organizations' goals through research, public education, advocacy, and by writing articles, blog posts, fact sheets, letters to the editor, op-eds, and/or reports. In addition, fellows often organize talks and conferences and attend coalition meetings, policy briefings, and congressional hearings. Benefits include salary, partial health insurance reimbursement, mentoring, moving costs to DC, meetings with policy experts, an additional stipend for professional development use, and an entrée into an increasingly connected and influential network of alumni working for domestic and international NGOs, the Federal Government, academia, and media. For complete details and FAQs, see http://scoville.org/
