A Gift That Keeps Giving By Eric Jaffe
Most SAIS students stress about how they will repay their massive loans after they graduate. It isn’t surprising, then, that students are taken aback – even shocked – when they’re asked to donate money to SAIS before they’ve received their first post-graduation paycheck.
But that’s exactly what the 2007 “Senior Class” Gift initiative asks them to do. * * * Recycling at SAIS By Nadav Davidai In an effort to appease students before ensuing protests in the halls of Nitze, the SAIS Administration, together with State and CAORC, is now sponsoring immersion in an eleventh newly critical language – Dutch.
* * * Eliot Cohen: The Exit Interview By Ethan Arnheim It was announced early last month that Professor Eliot Cohen would take leave from his position as Director of the Strategic Studies Program to work as Counselor to the State Department. He takes a break from SAIS after more than 15 years of teaching to fill a position that has been empty since Philip Zelikow departed earlier this year. In this conversation with SAIS first-year Ethan Arnheim, Cohen reflects on his time at SAIS and the development of the University. He describes what he hopes to accomplish in his new job and gives an insider’s perspective on working closely with the Secretary of State and changes within government.
