Once again, the CIE community gathered in Washington, DC during an annual CIES conference. Attending were students and faculty at the conference as well as CIE graduates in the DC area. FHI360 kindly allowed us to gather in their building next to the Washington Hilton. Represented among the almost 70 people who attended were graduates from all five decades of CIE’s history. The earliest graduates attending were Steve Grant and Ash Hartwell both of whom graduated in 1972, while the most recent graduate was Karla Sarr who graduated in 2015.
