Amelia Raether '13 interned at the U.S. Embassy in Nicosia, Cyprus through funding from the Rockefeller Center and Mr. E. John Rosenwald Jr. '52 Public Affairs Fund. As an intern in the Consular Section, she interviewed applicants seeking visas to the U.S. and drafted cables summarizing cases. She found the experience gave her valuable cultural and policy insights working directly with local Cypriots and on issues like the divided Cyprus and regional conflicts. Amelia was grateful for the funding and guidance to help her explore a possible career in foreign affairs or public policy.
