Casey Addis ’04

“We are going where no one else has gone before.”

Casey Addis reflects on her time working for the State Department in Libya immediately preceding the Benghazi attack. Casey graduated from Converse in 2004 with a double major in Economics and Politics. Casey went on to receive her masters in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. A former Presidential Management Fellow, Casey is currently a Foreign Service Officer with the US State Department and lives Baghdad, Iraq.

In celebration of our 125th anniversary, Converse is recording conversations that capture the unique voice, value and vision of our College community. The project launched during Reunion Weekend 2014, with a team of student digital journalists interviewing alumni, students, faculty and staff. The resulting stories span decades of friendships, life experiences and careers. The Conversations project was funded by a gift from President Betsy Fleming in honor of the College's anniversary.
