Public Diplomacy Fellow
The U.S. State Department sends a Visiting Senior Foreign Service Officer to teach an undergraduate class in public diplomacy at the School of Media and Public Affairs. Hosted by IPDGC, the Public Diplomacy Fellowship was initiated in order to strengthen the relationship between the Department and GW, as well as to support academic endeavors in the fields of public diplomacy and global communication.
