Carly Lagrotteria (M.A., Politics and Education)

The grandchild of Italian immigrants and the daughter of parents who "thought education was the most important thing in the world," Carly Lagrotteria was elected to student council in fourth grade. After graduating from Shore Regional High School in West Long Branch, New Jersey, as class president and salutatorian, she arrived at George Washington University with a plan to enter politics. "At first," she says, "I wanted to be the first woman president." But on subsequent reflection and many hours of watching The West Wing, she decided to work behind the scenes like C.J. Cregg, President Bartlett's press secretary.
