The "Group of Four" (G4) refers to a consortium of four top-tier professional schools of international affairs in the United States. These schools are Columbia SIPA, Georgetown MSFS, Tufts Fletcher, and Johns Hopkins SAIS. 

The Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies will host the Washington D.C. G4 Summerfest, an annual forum for prospective students interested in graduate programs in international affairs. Alumni, current students and staff representing four top professional schools will be available to answer questions. We hope you will join us to learn more about our institutions and take advantage of this great opportunity to network with international affairs professionals.

Representatives from the following graduate international affairs programs will be available:

Columbia University – School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA)
Georgetown University – Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service
Johns Hopkins University – School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS)
Tufts University – The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy

The event will include a panel presentation with alumni from each program, as well as a networking reception where you will have the opportunity to speak with current students, alumni and admissions representatives from each school. 

We hope you'll join us!
