Introducing Summer 2013 Intern Tessa Carter

National Association of Scholars

Tessa Carter is a 2013 graduate of The King’s College in New York City. At King’s she tutored students in writing and political philosophy and was involved with the debate society, theater, and the literature club. She enjoys writing and teaching and would like one day to tend a garden in England.

Here’s what she has to say about starting at NAS:

I am excited to work with NAS and I look forward to learning about the multifarious challenges facing higher education and how best to meet those challenges. I hope to effectively combine old-fashioned principles with practical, on-the-ground engagement and to be inspired by the true, the good, and the beautiful in everything I do.
