I believe this program has encouraged me to be more mindful of the global impact of individual decisions and attitudes. As a result of my time in this program, I am more aware of many serious global concerns, but I am also more aware of the ways my actions can work together with the actions of other individuals to enable change. This portfolio includes those projects which I feel represent my best work in the global studies program. Though I would likely construct very different projects now that I am nearly finished with the program, I feel the projects selected for inclusion are very honest attempts to understand the challenges inherent in the changing of global relationships. I have had the opportunity to take courses from some very gifted professors during this time and am infinitely grateful for the skills and techniques they taught me.

Thank you for your attention, September 1, 2001 *Please note, Web Enrichments (cited in the bibliographies of many of the papers here) were created by the National University Global Studies professors and are not available for individuals not currently in the specific course they were created for.
