A major pillar of that work has been the Mentorship program, which connected junior scholars, graduate, and undergraduate students with leading academics in their field. Through the production of policy memos and white papers, mentees gained the opportunity to apply their analytical skills to complex policy problems and learned to present informed solutions to academics, government officials, and policy experts \u2014 expanding the potential reach to new audiences and potential employers. EETN remains committed to fostering a new generation of professionals with nuanced views of international security and forging deep partnerships between academia and difference-makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
