Academic & Research Interests: The impacts of crisis on public opinion and the formation of European identity in the Mediterranean states

Why I chose MAGES: I chose MAGES because of its emphasis on studying European affairs through the creation of a self-designed concentration. I am excited to enrich my personal interest in the relationship between the EU and the Mediterranean states with the expertise of MAGES professors, look forward to expanding my understanding of the region through Georgetown's interdisciplinary curriculum, and hope to engage with the greater foreign policy community thriving in Washington D.C.!

As the Admissions Ambassador, Sophia is happy to talk with prospective students about applying to MAGES and her own experiences as a student. Reach out to her at sha47@georgetown.edu.
