The Dispatch

The Dispatch is an AHS newsletter that circulates each week to its constituent student chapters. Each issue of Dispatch features a “Weekly Discussion Topic,” meant to guide students as they make sense of timely topics in U.S. foreign policy and national security. You can view the collection of the past discussion topics below.

During the summer, AHS publishes biweekly interviews with students or alumni who have recently been abroad, with questions about their experiences and potential insights about foreign affairs.
