Aki looks back on his first Fletcher year
Long time no see! I trust that all you students are relishing your summer vacation. For those among you who are employed, you may be contemplating how to best utilize your summer recess. As for myself, I am currently situated outside the United States. In this blog entry, I aim to provide a summary of the past year, encompassing the completion of my studies at Fletcher during the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters....
Birendra looks back on an action-packed year
It was only last August I was struggling for a US visa, unsure if it would even come. But it surely did come at the nick of time and I began a journey into the unknown - unknown land, unknown people, unknown subjects, unknown systems, and unknown food habits!...

Big news today, readers - capstone haikus are back! "Back" may be something of a relative term, as it's entirely possible they've simply flown beneath my personal radar in the past year or two. In any case, the student Social List is positively abuzz with one of my favorite Fletcher traditions....
Christine’s spring break Camino de Santiago pilgramage

Emma’s Spring Update
It's hard to believe Emma and her fellow second-year students are weeks away from finishing their time at Fletcher. While there's still plenty left to do in a short time, having a job nailed down is surely a big item checked off her "to-do" list!...
A few notes about scholarships
Mid-to-late March is an exciting time for newly admitted students. Many candidates have several good options in front of them, but after the initial excitement passes it can quickly start to feel overwhelming. There's a lot to research about different graduate programs, and a lot of financial planning to do. Last week I covered some basics on financial planning, mainly advocating a “portfolio” approach to meet the costs of attendance. For almost everyone, Fletcher scholarships are a major piece of that portfolio, so it's worth going into a bit more detail about our scholarship process....
