Hello all! My name is Jennifer Triplett, and I am a senior from Jackson, Mississippi. I am currently majoring in Classical Studies and International Development with a minor in Latin American Studies and expect to graduate in December of 2012. After I graduate, I plan on going to graduate school (probably law school) after taking some time off to go live in Chile. I would love a career in international development that focuses on improving health indicators in South America.

Hey everyone! My name is Julian Guelig and I’m a junior from Wellsboro, PA (more or less the boonies of PA). I’m majoring in Economics and international development. I am planning to study abroad in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil next semester, which I can’t wait for. I’m not sure what I would like to do after graduation, but I will most likely look into the Peace Corps. So far there are many sectors of international development that I could see myself working in, I’ll just have to wait and see what happens!

Hi. I’m David. I’m a senior studying economics and international development, with minors in chemistry and architecture. After Tulane, I’m hoping to take a much-needed respite to go climbing before starting medical school in the summer.

Hi Everyone! I’m Tasneem and I am currently a Junior studying political science, economics, and international development. I am interested in the relationship between economics and politics, particulars economic policies related to development. While not the most technology savvy person, I am very interested to learn how ICT is aiding developing and bettering peoples’ lives.
