National Defense University Is Looking
For Adult Sponsors for Its Fellows
  This Is a Chance to Foster Peace in the World

In a world so torn apart by wars, misunderstandings, and terrorism, do you wish that you knew how to contribute to fostering peace? As citizens of the United States, we have all been affected by the changes brought upon us by the 9/11 attacks. We recognize the importance of working toward cultural and religious understanding, but many of us don’t have the time or opportunity to take part in community efforts. The National Defense University (NDU) in Washington, D.C., provides you a chance to foster understanding in the world. At NDU senior foreign military officers and civilians are enrolled in a 10-month Master’s degree program dealing with strategies related to combating international terrorism. The NDU needs volunteers to sponsor these fellows. As sponsor for an International Counterterrorism (ICT) Fellow, you will represent America to your Fellow and his family and you will learn how others view America. (Above is a photo of the ICT Fellows with Mason grad Krysten Rose-McCully at the FBI Headquarters.) Sponsorship participation is varied and individual. All CT’s are housed conveniently in corporate apartments in Arlington, VA, thus all that is required is an open mind and a desire to welcome your Fellow into some of your weekend or day-to-day activities. Some interesting outings might include sporting events (even at the Little League level), outlet shopping, movies, Woodley Park Zoo, or barbecues in your backyard. If you are ready for a new and exciting experience, don’t miss this unique opportunity. For more information contact the ICTF Program Specialist Krysten Rose-McCully, a graduate of George Mason High School, at 202-685-4308 or at RosemccullyK@ndu.edu  Or contact the ICTF Program Manager Sara Franken at 202-685-1705 or at FrankenS@ndu.edu  For more information, visit the NDU website at www.ndu.edu/ISMO    8-15-06
