Assistant Professor of International Relations <\/span>Julie Klinger<\/a>\u00a0and Professor of the Practice of International Relations John D. Woodward Jr.<\/a>\u00a0joined the graduate students to watch the election results.<\/p>\n

The mood among graduate students on Election Night turned from\u00a0nervous excitement to\u00a0shock as Donald Trump unexpectedly clinched the presidency of the United States. Students expressed concern over issues from the impact President Elect Trump could have on the economy to his\u00a0conservative stance on immigration.<\/p>\n

The election viewing is the latest event this year\u00a0in which the Pardee School graduate student community has gathered\u00a0outside of the academic setting to socialize and build a graduate class identity. MA candidates were welcomed back to campus in the fall\u00a0with a barbecue<\/a>, and first-year MA students attended a September retreat<\/a>\u00a0aimed at fostering the Pardee School graduate student community.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pardee Graduate Council organizes a variety of activities to enrich students\u2019 lives, including dinners with faculty members and social events. Each year during the Spring Semester, the Pardee Graduate Council organizes a graduate student conference, centered around a theme chosen by the students.\u00a0 The conference draws graduate students from the many colleges and universities throughout the Boston area and beyond.
