Olive Hill sophomore Alexandria Knipp has been accepted to a U.S. Foreign Service internship from the State Department. She will spend 10 weeks in Washington, D.C., this coming summer and 10 weeks abroad in the summer of 2017. She hopes to go to Iraq in the summer of 2017. “I’m interested in painting a different picture of American foreign policy abroad,” Knipp says. “Many countries feel America is trying to impose Western values and ideals on Arab nations.” Matt Lunsford/HERALD
