As a child of Arab immigrants, I understandthe importance of cross-cultural exchangeand cooperation which the Jackson Schoolstresses. Using my studies and experiences atthe Jackson School, I hope to contribute to ourincreasingly connected world.”Inspired by her work experience after a long career with the CIA and her love of languages,in summer 2020 Jackson School Alumna Helen Louise Noyes created the Jonathan andHelen Louise Noyes Language Scholarship Fund at the Jackson School.Noyes’s UW gift focuses on languages categorized by theState Department as Level 3 or higher, meaning that theyare difficult for native English speakers to learn.

TEACHING ACROSS BORDERS MAAISCreating internationalpolicymaking opportunitiesfor mid-career professionalsThe M.A. in Applied International Studies (MAAIS) has a number ofunique attributes that strengthen the program’s attraction formid-career professionals:1) A cohort-based program, MAAIS capitalizes on its diverse studentbody to provide a rich context for cross-cultural understandingand team building. In 2019-20, students ranged in age from 27 to 58and joined the program with experience in technology, journalism, themilitary, natural resource management, international development, law,defense policy, refugee resettlement and community organizing.2) The MAAIS curriculum emphasizes the practical application ofan international studies education, including through two capstoneexperiences: the International Strategic Crisis Negotiation Exercise(ISCNE) and the Applied Research Client Projects (ARCP).TEACHING ACROSS BORDERS MILITARY FELLOWSINSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT:Ann BurkhartRelationship Manager atEarthworm FoundationAnn Burkhart joined MAAIS in 2019 asthe new Applied Research Client Projectsinstructor. She holds a bachelor's degreefrom the Jackson School as well as an MBAfrom New York University.What attracted you to the ARCPteaching opportunity?As a Jackson School alumna and a MAAISCivic Council member, I was happy to havethe opportunity to deepen my involvementwith the program. Since I had been on theclient side of a couple of previous MAAISARCP engagements [in her time working onethical sourcing for Starbucks], I was excitedto be on the other side, working with thestudent teams as a coachand mentor.What is the value of the ARCPexperience for students?Having a project with an actual corporate ornon-profit client stretches and stimulatesthe students in ways that a theoreticalcase study never could. Situations comeup that test the group as individuals andas teams – changes in scope, personalityconflicts, difficulty securing interviews withstakeholders. Coming out of the class everystudent better understood how to workwell in a team, how to define a project’sscope, and how to run client engagement.In addition, all projects have an internationalcomponent which allows the students to seetheir studies come to life and to envision howthey can apply their knowledge and skills tojobs after graduate school.Virtual Crisis SIMULATIONDespite the closure of campus due to the coronavirus outbreak in the spring,MAAIS students honed their diplomatic negotiation skills in a first-ever virtualtwo-day simulation May 16-17. Some 47 participants came together via Zoomto find solutions to the Korean nuclear crisis. Teams consisted of MAAISstudents, graduate students from other UW programs, and 17 Air ForceROTC senior cadets from across the Seattle area—all supported by high-levelmentors and a technical control team that spanned three time zones.[PHOTO: ISCNE 2020 SCREENSHOT]6THE JACKSON REPORT 2019–20JACKSON SCHOOL ALUMNA ANN BURKHARTPHOTO CREDIT: UW JACKSON SCHOOL/KERRY DAHLENUW Asia-Pacific Army WarCollege Fellowship Program 2020-2021Hosted by the Jackson School, in partnership with UW Tacoma, U.S. military personnel selectedby the U.S. Army War College spend a year with UW faculty researching a policy issue on Asia.Part of the Asia-Pacific Fellowship program includes Fellows sharing their military experiencewith UW students and larger community, including corporate, academic, government,community, and NGO leadership in the Seattle area.Lieutenant ColonelLieutenant ColonelChristopher H.
