Lauren Werling
The Woodrow Wilson Graduate Fellow for International Affairs
Phone: (202) 319-5247

I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio and am a graduate student in the International Affairs program of the Department of Politics at Catholic. My academic areas of interest are healthcare and immigration with an emphasis on global health issues. Previously I worked on campus in the Politics Department serving as a Student Assistant and as Vice President for the undergraduate Student Government Association. As Vice President, I oversaw all Senate meetings and SGA's academic agenda for the school year. I have also served as a member of College Democrats Executive Board and Relay for Life's Logistics Committee.

My responsibilities include social media outreach and communications, such as maintaining the office's Facebook page, Twitter feed, as well as the pages for Graduate Admissions on Facebook and Twitter. I also track undergraduate and graduate recruitment efforts.

Madeleine Ayers
The John W. McCormack Undergraduate Fellow
Phone: 202-319-5247

I am the The John W. McCormack Undergraduate Fellow here in the Graduate Studies office, and have worked in the office since Fall 2016. I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida before coming to Washington, DC. I am a junior Politics major with an interest in American government and law. This is my first on campus job at Catholic and I love it!

My specialty in the office is serving as the "customer service guru", and I am often the first face you see when you walk in the door. I am also learning the ropes of the university's phone system, which is a lot trickier than it sounds!
