We don't want to miss the opportunity to congratulate and spotlight one of our Flagship alumni, Ella Baldwin, who was recently accepted to begin a Masters of Science graduate program in Natural Resources and Energy Policy at the Colorado School of Mines. Ella says she was "excited to find a program that could leverage the skills and regional expertise I gained from my MESA degree in a field that has such a profound impact on the trajectory of development in the Middle East and North Africa.” This will continue her preparation for a career in government, public policy and risk management. She is specifically excited to work with Dr. Hussein Amery, a specialist in water politics and policy in the MENA region. Her impressive linguistic and cultural proficiency will doubtless be key to unlocking unique opportunities for study and professional service. We can't wait to see how Ella and our other Flagship students will positively impact the world over the years.
