Amie Njie will earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science with a minor in international relations from The University of Texas at Tyler. As a Political Science student, she spent two years in Milan, Italy interning at the Milan institute and Milan Municipal where she did research on policy making and on current issues, and where she conducted surveys and polls regarding public opinion. In the summer of 2008 Amie studied in Switzerland where she compared social policy structures. This inspired her to pursue a career in public policy. Amie has been an active member of the UT Tyler international students’ organization, the United Nations Club, and the head of the Voice of the Young, a program that encourages early career researchers to play an active role in determining public opinion. During her semester as an Archer Fellow Amie hopes to continue her work in international relations.
