Our Meet the Secretariat series continues with our Director of Media Presence, Ian Gates! Ian is a is a Senior majoring in Public Administration who looks forward to serving as the Director of Media Presence for MASUN 33. He’s been in Model UN for 6 years including high school, and this is his fourth year in the club at Mason. He just finished an internship on Capitol Hill for Congressman Tom O’Halleran of Arizona’s First Congressional District; now he’s a Government Relations Intern at the American Association of Port Authorities! When he’s not trying to change the world, you can expect to see Ian pursuing his passion for photography (his work is featured in GMU’s literary magazine), listening to music or debating the state of the music industry, and trying new foods. After graduation, Ian will either work in the nonprofit sector, continue to work in government relations, or return to Capitol Hill as a Legislative Correspondent
