Question
I met you at your talk on Thursday in Goldwin Smith. First off, I just
want to say that it was truly great hearing what you had to say and I
would like to thank you again for coming back to Cornell to share your
experiences. As I had mentioned, I am a senior majoring in Government
with an International Relations minor. I am interested in pursuing law
eventually (at least I think so!) I am really interested in smaller
scale development work and NGOs, think tanks, anything basically.
If you know of anything that may be related, please let me know. I
would really appreciate it. Once again thank you for coming and
speaking with us.
Answer:
Really good to hear from you. Start emailing below - now! Always
here if you need me :).
