STUDENT SPEAKER
HEATHER LORRAINE SALIB, PARALEGAL STUDIES
Heather Salib is proud to be graduating from the College of Professional Studies with a master’s degree in Paralegal Studies from The George Washington University. Heather previously attained an associate degree in Radiologic Technology before going on to attain a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration. Shortly after completing her undergraduate degree, Heather joined the Peace Corps. While in the Peace Corps, Heather lived and served in the Volta Region of Ghana, West Africa working on HIV/AIDS education, girl child development, and health and hygiene education. Shortly after the close of service from the Peace Corps, Heather married and started a family. When Heather’s twin girls began middle school, it became increasingly clear that their childhood was flying by. With the girls heading to high school, Heather began to wonder what the future held for her after so many years out of the workforce. The future boiled down to one question, “What do you
love to do?” Heather decided the best thing to do was to enhance her education to become professionally relevant. She decided the Paralegal Studies Master of Professional Studies was the perfect fit. This incredibly rewarding program prepared Heather in more ways than she could have imagined. After a brief internship at a law firm to fulfill the program’s practicum requirement, Heather was hired by that law firm. After two years of hard work, making amazing life-long friends, and being associated with an unbelievable list of professors and instructional assistants, Heather is ready for an amazing and exciting future.

Christopher Arterton, who served as dean of the Graduate School of Political Management from its founding in 1987 to 2010, established this award to celebrate the core ideals valued by a school of professional politics.
Before joining the GSPM, Professor Arterton taught political science at Yale, MIT, and Wellesley, achieving national recognition as a scholar of American politics and as a professional pollster. As the founding dean of the GSPM, Arterton advanced his vision that, beyond teaching abstract theory, institutions of higher education have an affirmative obligation to prepare their students for practical participation in democratic governance and electoral politics. In the process, Dean Arterton created the new academic discipline of political management. Having led the merger of the school into the George Washington University, Arterton subsequently expanded the school’s curriculum of political management to include programs in legislative affairs, strategic public relations, and the politics of governance. During the 23 years of Dean Arterton’s leadership, the GSPM emerged as the foremost academic institution of applied democratic politics in the world.
