Senior studies in D.C. for spring 2021 semester
University of North Georgia (UNG) senior Bradley Booth gained valuable experience this spring through the Fund for American Studies' (TFAS) Capital Semester on International Affairs + Public Policy.
The cadet, who is pursuing a degree in international affairs with a European concentration, was one of 14 students from across the U.S. to take part in the program.
He worked an internship with military intelligence contractor Praescient Analytics and took courses on the American presidency, the presidency and the media, and international economics through George Mason University and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute.
"I am thankful for being part of the program," Booth said. "They went above and beyond to help me network with D.C. professionals and show me the best ways to move forward as I start my career."
The resident of Johns Creek, Georgia, previously studied abroad in the United Kingdom and Canada. He is a founding member of UNG's Phi Delta Theta chapter and is scheduled to graduate in August. He hopes to work in international affairs or national security.
Booth is on the National Service Leadership Track, which provides valuable leadership training to cadets who do not plan to commission as military officers. He plans to enlist in the Army National Guard or Army Reserves in military intelligence.
