Nathaniel Graddy
When I started job hunting in my final semester of the MSFS Program, it became obvious that my decision to choose Georgetown over any other school had been the right one; "Wow" was a reaction I often got. The stellar reputation of the MSFS Program combined with the top-notch internships I was encouraged and able to land set me apart from all but a few other job seekers. Not only was the alumni network of great value, but the Program's well-known emphasis on skill building also helped me in my search. As a consequence I am now in a challenging position in a fantastic company - a place I might not have been had I chosen a lesser program.
