Political science graduate student Chris Rinehart lands State Department internship

Chris Rinehart has wanted to work at the U.S. Department of State since high school, when he first became interested in issues related to civil service and policy.

When he earned an internship position there for the Spring 2024 semester, he got one step closer to that goal.

Rinehart’s internship runs from February-April 2024.

MSU’s International Affairs track was excellent preparation

Rinehart chose the accelerated Master of International Affairs track when he arrived at Missouri State University in 2020. He graduated in 2023 with a BA in Global Studies and immediately entered the accelerated program.

“I was nervous about attending a university outside of the Washington, D.C. Beltway because foreign policy is so heavily concentrated in our capital, and almost exclusively so,” Rinehart admitted.

Rinehart found MSU to be a good fit and credited his courses with increasing his confidence.

Three of those courses were political science classes taught by Dr. Ashley Leinweber, associate professor of political science in the Department of Political Science and Philosophy. Leinweber and Rinehart also worked together in Model United Nations.

“I have really enjoyed the policy-based aspects of the courses I have taken,” he said. “And Dr. Leinweber has always been such a big supporter of my endeavors.”

“I am very thankful to have her and Dr. Gabriel Ondetti as professors because they are always willing to help me reach the next step in my academic and professional careers,” Rinehart added. [Read more…] about Political science graduate student Chris Rinehart lands State Department internship
