MSFS Profiles: Mark Simakovsky, MSFS 2005

The MSFS program offers the bedrock foundation for a career in international relations, with an educational program and alumni network that stands with you throughout your career. My decision to enroll was based on the programs proven strength of preparing policymakers for careers in government service. Through practical education by professors who have practiced what they preach in the highest levels of diplomacy, business and development, MSFS offers an experience no other program can match. The most enlightening and lasting piece of the program, however, are the experiences and education you recieve from creative, driven and diverse classmates who end up being friends for life.
