GW's Elliott School of International Affairs is pleased to welcome Dr. Christine Emery as its new Assistant Vice President for Development. In this position, she will lead the Elliott School's fundraising efforts.

"The Elliott School has a long tradition of preparing students to engage successfully in global affairs. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Elliott School's renowned faculty, and with its alumni around the world, to support the School's mission of excellence," said Dr. Emery.

Dr. Emery is "exceptionally well-positioned" for her new role, according to Elliott School Dean Michael E. Brown. She is a triple alumna of the George Washington University, having received a B.A. in American Literature, an M.Phil. in International Affairs, and a Ph.D. in Political Science.
