  • Hello,

    My name is Hanna Ryberg and I have been pursuing a MA in Conflict Resolution in England, but I used to live in DC and attend the Barracks Row location. I am now finished with my studies, and want to move back to DC. Is this vacancy still available? I see form the post that the deadline is past, but I thought I would reach out anyway.

    Thanks and with Kind Regards,

    Hanna Ryberg
