Essential to the work of the Dean Rusk International Law Center is its amazing staff, whose extensive background in global affairs brings to the Center language skills not only in English, but also in Arabic, French, German, Haitian Creole, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Mongolian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

Led by Associate Dean Diane Marie Amann, the Center’s permanent team includes:

► Kathleen A. Doty, Director of Global Practice Preparation, whose portfolio includes administration of Georgia Law’s Global Governance Summer School in Leuven, Belgium, its Global Externships, and other academic and research initiatives.

► Elena Williams, Executive Administrator, whose duties include management of the center’s budget, finances and overall operations, as well as administrative support and supervision of administrative staff.

► Martica Marín, Administrative Assistant, who provides secretarial, clerical and other administrative support to all members of the Center’s staff.

Joining these permanent members are student staffers:
