Director Arend Welcomes MSFS Graduates to the "World of Service"
Anthony Arend, director of the Master of Science in Foreign Service program, reminded graduates at the MSFS tropaia and diploma ceremony that the school was founded in the midst of a changing world. The conclusion of WWI and the establishment of the League of Nations left SFS founder, Father Edmund Walsh, convinced that the world needed a new academy that would prepare graduates for the new global realities.“Father Walsh’s vision continues to be our mission,” Arend said. “To prepare students to enter an uncertain world, to prepare leaders who understand the complexities of this international system, to prepare leaders who can think creatively about solving problems and to prepare leaders who understand the deeper meaning of service. Father Walsh’s vision, our mission, is now your job. Welcome to this world.”
