🎓 IWP Alumnus Spotlight: Christopher Rawlins (’15)

Christopher serves as a full-time Information Operations Planner with the U.S. Army’s 11th Airborne Division, where he plays a key role in advancing U.S. strategic interests in the Arctic and Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) regions.

An Iran expert and counterintelligence practitioner when starting his M.A. in Strategic Intelligence Studies, he credits his IWP experience with grounding him in the purpose of his career. Inspired by his coursework at IWP, he deployed to Djibouti as an Information Operations officer.

He said: “There is value in understanding our background and what makes the United States worth defending. And it’s important to understand the moral arguments from the greatest minds in history. Even if these classes don’t teach you how to do your job, they give you the background that makes you a better person, who is more grounded in the purpose of your career.”

"RFE/RL and VOA have never just been broadcasters. They’ve been lifelines. In countries where freedom of the press doesn’t exist—Afghanistan, Iran, China, Russia, and other authoritarian style governing powers—these outlets remain trusted sources of accurate, independent information."

-Lisa Sorush, IWP Executive M.A. Candidate

🎓 IWP Alumna Spotlight: Rebecca McWhite (’13)

Rebecca currently serves as the Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) Tech at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where she plays a key role in helping others identify and mitigate supply chain risks that impact national security.

An IWP classmate helped Rebecca earn a contracting position with the Department of Homeland Security. She then landed her dream job analyzing China's military. Seeking a new direction later, she took the advice of a mentor and transitioned into supply chain risk management. Rebecca continues to apply her in-depth knowledge of China and national defense in her new career.

Reflecting on her experience at IWP, Rebecca shared, “It was a lot of fun. I appreciated the flexibility to pursue topics that interested me. By the end of my M.A. program, I was academically a subject matter expert in Chinese military analysis—largely thanks to the professors and courses at IWP.”
