Carving out the future with the tools she found at Dickinson
As an intern for the Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, Amanda Custer '19 (international studies, Spanish) learned firsthand the power of the partnership between Dickinson and the U.S. Army War College. Her experience there led her further into politics, and now she's spending her summer researching the influence of cyber intelligence on national security policy through an internship at The Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C.
"Dickinson has given me the opportunity to explore counterterrorism and intelligence as a discipline," she explains. "This has been a great opportunity to explore cyber, which is normally explored by STEM majors. So I'm getting to explore my role as a potential policymaker."
Custer’s internship experience at The Institute of World Politics is supported by a Dickinson internship grant. Learn more about internships at Dickinson.
