What Our Students Say

  • Allison Archambault, President, EarthSpark International image

    "Disrupting the status quo in energy infrastructure is essential for bringing clean and affordable services to populations that have never had electricity before. My solar power projects in Haiti combine financial modeling, policy, technology, and community engagement—all of which are disciplines I refined as a Johns Hopkins SAIS student.”

    Allison Archambault, President, EarthSpark International, Master of Arts ‘15
  • Durreen Shahnaz, Founder and CEO at Impact Investment Exchange image

    "Today we can dare to think about a woman not only getting a microloan for a cow but for that woman to have a voice in the growth of her business and her own place in the global capital markets. International relations professionals are helping to make development more inclusive.”

    Durreen Shahnaz, Founder and CEO at Impact Investment Exchange, Master of Arts ‘95
  • Jeffrey Raider, Co-Founder of Warby Parker and, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Harry’s, Inc. image

    "A Johns Hopkins SAIS degree not only trains students for the increasingly complicated global backdrop within which we all operate, but instills some of the important, transferrable skills I use every day as a founder and entrepreneur—negotiation, problem-solving, and the ability to navigate cultures.”
