HEAR FROM OUR ALUMNI

Nick Faust

UNITED STATES
“I’ve learned so much. Sitting down with the ambassadors was tremendous, because you get a window into the depth and breadth of their careers. The time spent here builds practice. You can look online or read a book, but to actually do it and be critiqued by people who had that experience is invaluable. You’ll get that nowhere else in the world.”

Ikenna Ezealah, Ph.D.

UNITED STATES & NIGERIA

“I feel better equipped as I proceed along my career path. In the process of trying to resolve the issue at hand, based on the topic, and applying those fundamentals of diplomatic practice, you experience the different challenges a diplomat would run into. WIDA is an experiential immersion. It will give you tools and skills that you wouldn’t get anywhere else.”

Pamela Jahier

UNITED STATES & MAURITIUS

“I applied to WIDA after doing extensive research and quickly determined that it was everything I was looking for. It offered the program that was going to give me the best insight into a career in diplomacy. And it topped all my expectations. I really felt immersed in everything foreign affairs and diplomacy. It changed my perception of things.”
