On April 26, students in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs Pro-Seminar (INTA 4500) class presented their semester-long research projects at Poster Day.

The purpose of a project-based course taught by Associate Professor Mikulas Fabry is to enable students to produce a research paper based on their specific interests within international affairs. Throughout the spring semester, they collected and processed relevant sources; wrote clearly and concisely; enhanced their analytical, critical, and methodological thinking; practiced their public speaking; and provided constructive feedback to others. 

The course offered to International Affairs majors helps students enhance their essential skills and build an application portfolio for a job or graduate school.
