Dominican University student developed "diplomatic acumen" through internship at USCG-International Affairs Office
/
“My name is Anna Wojciechowski. I’m a student at Dominican University majoring in International Relations and Diplomacy. I was a part of the Washington Internship Institute in the Fall of 2013 at the US Coast Guard Headquarters in the Office of International Affairs. I was the assistant to the regional advisor of Latin America and the Caribbean. I drafted and edited briefing papers and correspondences. I arranged short-notice Coast Guard briefs and provided logistical support for several high level foreign visitors to Coast Guard units. I also assisted in the final stages of relocating to a new office space. I developed my work ethic and diplomatic acumen while learning the importance of communication in diplomacy. ”
