Syracuse University Institute for Security Policy and Law is a unique asset of the College of Law and the Maxwell School of Citizenship. As an SPL student and Graduate Assistant, I have seen how the interactions between law and policy students creates an incredibly beneficial interdisciplinary academic environment. Through my work with SPL faculty, I have been exposed to a variety of important national security topics, and I have learned important lessons that I can carry into my future career.
