"My project activities for the Colloquium gave me ample opportunity to set up meetings with civil society workers, which allowed me to witness a good cross-section of their development projects and the unique challenges of a post-conflict setting, expanded my understanding of how micro-credit mechanisms function, and gave me glimpses into the personal motives that drive development workers.”
– Claire Applegarth from the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. Office of the Foreign Minister of Liberia, Monrovia, Liberia. |
"Overall, it was an extremely valuable experience that impacted me on both a personal and professional level. I learned a lot about Costa Rica, its citizens, the way of life, and myself. I was able to learn and grow, and I am sure the experience made me a better person."

"I do feel as though my fellowship with CWWL and RR: EGI has gone beyond just asking the right questions but given me an invaluable perspective with which to refine my answers.

– Briana Harper from Realizing Rights: Ethical Globalization Initiative, New York City. |
"I can attest that both the tangible skills I gained this summer in project development and the issue-specific knowledge I acquired in international development and peace and security will be directly relevant to any further work I pursue in the field of international affairs."
