Southeast Missouri State University student Megan Chisum of Chaffee, MO, has been selected to participate in a four-day seminar during spring break week March 13-18 at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C.

CSIS is a strategic think tank whose scholars and board members provide advice to the federal government on significant social, economic, environmental and political global issues. Students at Southeast enroll in a course that allows them to work throughout the week with researchers and consultants who advise national leaders in the top levels of government as they develop policies and strategies that affect the United States and the global community.

Chisum is a junior pursuing a degree in psychology and a minor in criminology. She is a member of Psi Chi and Psychology Club and completed First Year Leadership Program. Her career aspirations include being a clinical psychologist and pursuing a Ph. D. Chisum is the daughter of Jesse and Misty Chisum of Chaffee, Missouri, and is a 2015 graduate of Chaffee High School.
