ANNOUNCEMENTS 


Thanks to all who joined GWL and the Defense & Intel Club for a Coffee Chat with Nina Wagner

SAIS alumna Nina Wagner, who currently works for the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense – Policy at the U.S. Department of Defense. Nina shared her experiences working for DoD with SAIS students and offered advice for navigating and thriving in a mission-driven career in DC. It was the first of what we hope to be many future collaborations with SAIS’s career clubs.

SAIS Global Women in Leadership welcomes the opportunity to connect with other SAIS alumnae in careers of interest to current students. If you or your contact would be interested in hosting a coffee chat and sharing your professional experiences with current SAIS students, please contact us at info@saiswomenlead.org.
