Join our (temporarily known as) EDH House, where we foster a dynamic community dedicated to exploring critical topics at the intersection of environment, development, and health. From thought-provoking panel discussions featuring international organizations, think tanks, and local experts to hands-on experiences at Airlie Farm and networking opportunities with alumni, we provide a platform for students passionate about making a positive impact on the world.
I wanted to be an SIS House student advisor to help with building a community in SIS.

I wanted to be an SIS House student advisor to assist and guide students.
This house (temporarily known as the PHRCR House) hopes to provide a fun, safe, and supportive community that facilitates positive interaction among students within the Peace, Global Security, and Conflict Resolution, Justice, Ethics, and Human Rights, and Identity, Race, Gender, and Culture gateways and with others. Our mission is to create a safe and fun environment within which our members can get to know each other and other SIS students, and share in fun events that are a nice break from their day-to-day classes and other academic activities.
My interest in SIS started a long time ago, and it will undoubtedly never die. Hopefully, I can share that passion with other students at AU.
The House of Foreign Policy & Global Security, temporarily known as FPGS House, aims to foster a community of students who are interested in international policy and security challenges. Students in the FPGS House are excited by thinking and talking about geopolitical competition and modalities of international cooperation, as well as the dynamics of peace, war, conflict, and political violence.
Faculty in the Department of Foreign Policy and Global Security includes a number of former Ambassadors, Academics focused on bridging the gap between scholars and policy makers, and authors of influential books. A key aim of the House is to strengthen connections between faculty, graduate students and undergraduates.
As an SIS House student advisor, I hope to foster engaging discussions.
The (temporarily known as) Department of Global Inquiry House seeks to provide an intellectual, social, and inclusive space for students to share and reflect on questions beyond individual issue areas in world politics. To this end, we hope an initial theme of pop culture will foster curiosity and conversation.
I am motivated by a sense of curiosity for how we think and understand the world around us and am eager to participate in and foster a space where likeminded students ask questions and share in the spirit of inquiry.
At Legacy House, we are committed to building a legacy of future global leaders through sharing first-hand stories from each other, alumni who came before us, and other transformative leaders in the global community. We seek to expand the reach of SIS beyond the walls of campus and to embody what it means to be and represent the School of International Service. Our work blends global knowledge with art, storytelling, fashion, music & dance, food, and cultural artifacts.

I am involved in the SIS Legacy House as a student advisor because legacy creation and preservation through global leadership and storytelling is valuable to our institution.
