Many current students just experienced a day-long seminar on the Dilemma’s in the Law of Free Expression with MSC’s Jason DeSanto. The day is always so engaging that the pleas and promises begin in hopes of being one of the lucky twenty-four to enroll in his MSC summer course Public Persuasion; thankfully for the staff, enrollment is automated through

We are quickly approaching the registration for our second quarter… hard to believe, right? As fast as this first quarter is flying by, I cannot imagine how fast graduation will approach. After this first quarter is completed, I think we will all be able to agree that this program will be the best thing to

As a Northwestern student expecting to receive a degree, it will be helpful to understand two terms associated with graduation: Commencement: the university-wide ceremony at which speakers address all students, and the university President verbally (and thus only ceremoniously) confers degrees upon the students. For the MSC program, names of the previous year’s cohort are
Dear Friends, Thank you for eight amazing years as your program director! My time with you has been among the most professionally transformative, fulfilling, and productive of my career. I have learned and grown more in this role than ever could have been anticipated and am personally rewarded by your camaraderie and friendship. It is with immense gratitude
