Congratulations to Megan Sanders (IPE ’19) for her summer IPE
internship! Megan will be interning with the State Department on public
outreach, and is hoping to discover whether she would enjoy a career in
domestic politics. When originally looking at colleges, Megan thought
she wanted to study International Relations, but when she visited UPS,
she was fascinated by the way the IPE program considers the economic and
sociological sides of global affairs. Megan believes this background
in economics and socio-anthropology will make her studies more
well-rounded and increase her awareness of the complex factors
contributing to how countries interact. So far, her favorite experience
with the IPE program has been Nick Konto’s class on the political
economy of Southeast Asia, and then studying abroad in Thailand with the
LIASE program to learn about the significance of rice as a staple in
the economy and culture of the region. In the future, Megan is
considering a career with the US Department of State or an
internationally-oriented NGO. In her free time, Megan loves swimming,
traveling, and exploring Washington.
