Presenting the evening’s topic and animating the discussion was James Vernon, one of the founders of a hedge fund that ranks among the world’s largest. He gave an insider’s view and explained how, contrary to the common perception, hedge funds may actually contribute to the world’s global economic development. “It was interesting to get more insight into a subject that does not directly fall within the discipline of international relations but is definitely relevant in order to better understand the global economic landscape”, says AGS alumna and study abroad coordinator Jennifer Wright, class of 2009.

The people that I met at AGS will remain my friends forever, despite the fact that they are now all over the world. I know each one of my professors personally and keep in touch with them. I don't think that I would ever have been as involved in my grad school if I had gone to a larger institution.
