Albert Chang
Albert Chang graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University with a B.A. in Political Science and highest University Honors in International Security Studies in 2006. While serving as a member of the State Department’s Defense Policy and Planning Team in 2004, Albert drafted classified memos and speeches for the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of State regarding African peacekeeping and Middle East stability, served on the Iraq Transitional Security Team, and was the primary lead in editing the 2005 Foreign Military Training Report with the Pentagon. For his service, Albert was the recipient of the 2004 U.S. Department of State Certificate of Appreciation. Outside of government, Albert has received over $14,000 in foreign policy research grants and worked on global strategy for two foreign policy think tanks in Taipei and Oxford: the Institute for National Policy Research and the Nathan Hale Foreign Policy Society. First published at 19, Albert has since published two academic papers and was the youngest person ever selected to present his proposal on diffusing the North Korean nuclear crisis at Harvard’s largest annual conference in Asia. At Stanford, Albert drafted an Honors Thesis assessing the impact of U.S. and PRC actions from 1994-2005 on the tendency of those in Taiwan to identify themselves as Taiwanese and advocate independent statehood. A 2006 Paul and Daisy Soros Fellow, 2005 Harry S. Truman Scholar, and 2006 International Achievement Summit invitee, Albert was nominated anonymously as the Stanford University 2006 Phi Beta Kappa Graduation Ceremony student speaker. Following a stint as the Defense and Foreign Policy Fellow for Senator Max Baucus (D) of Montana, Albert currently attends Harvard Law School.
