IDH 3034
Diplomacy Lab
The U.S. Department of State’s Diplomacy Lab allows students to explore real-world challenges identified by the State Department. As a Diplomacy Lab Fellow, I conducted research on binational education centers in Latin America and developed actionable recommendations to support U.S foreign policy in the region. While enrolled in this course, I had the privilege of routinely meeting with Dr. Frank Mora and President Luis Guillermo SolÃs, who guided my team throughout the research process. We later presented our recommendations to U.S. Department of State officials, contributing to the policymaking process while gaining valuable research skills.
