This morning we met Emerson alumni Janice Scangas at the Italian Sette Osteria Restaurant in downtown DC. Janice has spent many years in private foundation administration and took time today to instill the same spirit of philanthropic service  in the CPLA Emersonians of today. Over our meal, Janice migrated about the table making sure to connect with each of us and listen to our future aspirations, goals, and causes. Not long after our lunch began, Emerson Alumni, Rael Ammon joined us. Having graduated in 2008 in the Political Communication department, Rael now works in the US Department of State, Buerau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs in the office of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Jordan support. Living the life that many of us in CPLA aspire to, we listened to Rael's story as she explained the series of events that contributed to being offered the job. Following the lunch, we split up and went to museums, monuments, and government buildings for the remainder of the day. Tomorrow we leave and bring with us an enlightening experience in Washington DC, yet again, as members of CPLA.

Janice Scangas looks the the same! Younger than she was in Dr. Ratzan's class. Speaking of which where is Ratzan these days? Heard he was at Johnson and Johnson in Europe. Do you know Shawn?
