Testimonials

Jamie CogbillThe fellowship at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy has been an extremely rewarding and fulfilling life experience. I mostly appreciated the opportunity to delve deeper into a wide range of national security topics through my coursework and through personal interaction with an outstanding range of top-tier national security officials who visited Duke and shared their experiences with us—often in small-group settings. In addition, I chose a Fellows Strategy Research Paper topic focused on Morocco’s counterterrorism program which tied together many aspects of my academic year. For example, during the fall semester I took courses on Africa and Middle East politics; my Middle East Politics professor was from Morocco and served as my faculty advisor; I discussed my project with Duke’s Representative for Muslim Affairs, Abdullah Antepli; and—best of all—I participated in the American Grand Strategy Program’s Operation Torch Staff Ride to Morocco where, in addition to meaningful interaction with fellow Duke students, faculty, and alumni, I met with U.S. Embassy staff in Rabat. In sum, the fellowship at Duke equipped me with a rich and deep understanding of national security issues that will serve me well as a strategic leader in the U.S. Army and beyond."
