“Research is detective work and that is what truly appealed to me… I try to focus on what gets me excited, and that is really appealing to students’ imaginations and framing it in the context of discovery.” – Professor Chandan Vaidya
“I was fortunate enough to have a couple of ambassadors and former ambassadors as professors, [and that] opened a whole new universe to me of opportunity. So, my time at the School of Foreign Service was really formative, and I am glad I can lean on it in some respects as ambassador.” – Alaina
