Nia Zeikidze, MSGA '27

AY26-27 Graduate Student Council Representative of the Student Association of Global Affairs (SAGA)

Focused on the political economy of Eastern Europe and Eurasia, Nia studies how Georgia’s economic reliance on Russia creates structural constraints on its foreign policy and aspirations for EU and NATO integration.

Nia's favorite CGA experience so far was representing Team Canada in the U.S. Army War College International Strategic Crisis Negotiation Exercise (ISCNE). "We were thrown into high-pressure diplomatic negotiations, trying to find common ground when every country had competing priorities. Successfully making deals and signing Memorandums with key allies like the US and Denmark was a huge win."

Nia is looking forward to her new classes and serving as a Graduate Student Council representative, where she plans to work with the SAGA team to host events that build a tight-knit, supportive community.

AY26-27 President of the Student Association of Global Affairs (SAGA)

Ece's favorite CGA experience so far was participating in the International Strategic Crisis Negotiations Exercise hosted by the US Army War College. "During the fast-paced Arctic crisis simulation, I worked alongside students I had never met to navigate complex security, energy, and environmental negotiations. The experience strengthened my ability to communicate under pressure, practice strategic patience, and keep dialogue moving despite competing priorities."
