Students in the undergraduate capstone course, taught by Christina Bache, met with Ambassador Ross Wilson, a distinguished American diplomat. Ambassador Wilson served five times as a US chief of mission abroad – as ambassador to Azerbaijan (2000-03) and to Turkey (2005-08) and as chargé d’affaires in Turkey (2014), Georgia (2018-19), and Afghanistan (from January 2020 until the embassy’s suspension of operations on August 30, 2021). Ambassador Wilson shared his experience serving as Ambassador to Afghanistan and U.S. foreign policy toward the country, which serves as the case study for the student's group report.
