Facility renovations, aided by a master
plan, have been undertaken to ensure
Fletcher’s classrooms, study areas,
library, and offices are on par with the
School’s world-class stature. These
facilities encourage Fletcher students to
integrate and grow as one community in
an environment where classroom debates
of issues, ideas, and perspectives often
flow out to the common areas for ongoing
discussion and analysis.

Former Under-Secretary General for Communications and Public Information, United Nations
“ My job is to promote the understanding of and support for the U.N.’s role in development,
the environment, public health — a whole range of issues and initiatives. And whatever the
organization’s shortcomings, when it comes to dealing with these kinds of transnational
issues, no other body can match the experience, expertise, and legitimacy the U.N. is
able to muster. The breadth and rigor of my class work at Fletcher has served me well.”
