Fellow of Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs
Wellesley College junior Rachel Snyderman, and a graduate of Princeton High School (class of '07) , has been named a fellow of the Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs, which prepares women for positions of global leadership.
Snyderman’s participation in the institute will begin with an intensive course this January, where she will take lessons from various international relations and public policy experts, including Albright herself, former U.S. secretary of state and a member of the Wellesley College class of 1959, who will serve as the institute’s first distinguished visiting professor.
The following summer, Snyderman— one of 40 students selected to participate in the institute’s inaugural year— will participate in a Wellesley-funded internship in the United States or abroad, applying what she has learned in a real-life setting.
"Madeleine Albright transformed the office of Secretary of State and international policy and is my inspiration for pursuing this fellowship," she said.
Snyderman, an economics and Latin American studies major, spent last summer as an intern for the institutional development department of an Argentine economic and political development company in Buenos Aires, Argentina. While at Wellesley she has also worked in a jet propulsion laboratory at NASA, tutored disadvantaged children in Roxbury, Mass., and served in the Economic Student Association and with the arts and music society Tau Zeta Epsilon.
The Albright Institute will combine the expertise of Wellesley faculty, researchers and leading public policy practitioners to educate young women for positions of global leadership. Albright is one of the most prominent diplomats in U.S. history, having served as secretary of state, representative to the United Nations and having worked in the National Security Council. Her leadership is both the inspiration and the foundation for the new institute.
"We are witnessing a generational change in the American political scene. This is the right time — and Wellesley is the right place — to help train a whole new group of young women leaders," Albright said.

"By the time he [John Lithgow] graduated Princeton High School, he'd already attended about eight other schools in Ohio and Massachusetts. Then he attended Harvard University, where a solo in a Gilbert and Sullivan show sealed the deal."
