Benjamin Griffin Email & Phone Number

As a junior at The George Washington University, I am pursuing a degree in International Affairs with a concentration in International Development at the Elliott School of International Affairs, and a minor in International Business through the Business School. My academic journey has been complemented by active involvement in organizations that reflect my interests in global affairs, international business, and advocacy. --I am a member of OUT in International Affairs, where I engage in efforts to empower LGBTQ+ voices within the field of international relations. Additionally, as part of Active Minds, I work toward reducing the stigma surrounding mental health on campus. My role as a staff editor for "The Compass," the International Affairs society's monthly publication, allows me to explore and contribute to discourse on pressing international issues, aligning with my focus on global affairs and foreign policy. I am also an active member of the GW College Democrats, where I engage in discussions on policy and governance.--Currently, I serve as a Student Lifeguard at the Lerner Health and Wellness Center, where I have honed skills in teamwork, responsibility, and crisis management. I hold a Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish, further enabling me to engage with diverse cultures and markets. With a solid academic foundation in areas such as Foreign Policy, Political Science, Economics, and International Business, I am eager to apply my knowledge and passion in a professional setting. I am actively seeking internships in international business, trade policy, global development, and sales growth strategy, where I can contribute my skills and drive to meaningful projects.
