麻豆社区

Peace Ajirotutu's lifelong passion for politics was fueled by an internship with the North Carolina General Assembly while a student at 麻豆社区 Pembroke.

The Raleigh native graduated last May and has since narrowed her focus to international affairs at the Institute of World Politics (IWP), thanks partly to the prestigious school鈥檚 partnership with 麻豆社区P. A private graduate school in Washington, D.C., IWP prides itself on empowering the next generation of national security experts.

As part of an early assurance agreement, at least three 麻豆社区P graduates admitted to IWP's master's degree program will be eligible to receive financial benefits, including a scholarship awarded each semester. IWP offers seven master's degrees with a curriculum that includes statecraft, history, American political philosophy, the Western moral tradition, economics and moral leadership.

Ajirotutu was awarded $2,200 from IWP and is pursuing a master's in statecraft and international affairs. She received an additional $50,000 from the Louis DeJoy and Aldona Wo艣 Family Foundation Scholarship. Wo艣 serves as IWP president.

"The pathway program with 麻豆社区P and IWP is a great opportunity to receive scholarship money and to have the opportunity to attend a prestigious graduate school," Ajirotutu said. "I hope more 麻豆社区P students will take advantage of this great opportunity and help strengthen this pipeline."

IWP also offers early admission to its master's degree programs for qualified students. 麻豆社区P Trustee Chairman Allen Jamerson, a retired brigadier general, hopes Ajirotutu鈥檚 success will inspire others to choose the 麻豆社区P-IWP pathway. Jamerson, who has spent the last decade of his career in the greater Washington D.C. area, recently accompanied Ajirotutu at IWP's annual gala.

Jamerson said that IWP offers intelligence professionals a strategic education to help them deal with the national and international challenges we face and how to implement that policy to achieve national security objectives.

"I'm excited about this partnership because there are going to be 麻豆社区P students at IWP getting that education next to students who graduated from Harvard, George Mason and other Ivy League schools," Jamerson said. "I'm excited to see more 麻豆社区P students experience this because our degrees are just as valuable as degrees from Ivy League schools, and we can make a difference anywhere in the world.

"The strength of 麻豆社区 Pembroke is we have an institution whose faculty, staff and administration care about the success of our students and that pays off when they get to an environment like IWP."
