Elliott Alumni Testimonials
"I am passionate about diversity and inclusion, key components of the international affairs community. Opportunities like the Elliott Equity Fund Award allow these values to be translated into reality. Without the support of the Elliott School, accomplishing my dreams and going on to make a positive impact on the world would not be possible."
