ALUMNI AND FRIENDS
MSJ Graduate: From the Mount to Romania!
As a Fulbright scholar, MSJ graduate Justin Classen ('99) spent approximately ten months conducting dissertation research in Romania. His dissertation research focuses on the cultural consequences of globalization in industrializing societies. While in Romania, he examined how the American school of thought on how to properly structure and organize economic life spread to Romanian industrial society during from 1919 to 1941. It is an honor to have a Fulbright scholar alumnus. Good luck completing this project!

Jaymie Gudelis Profiled in the Rutland Reader
