Education and academic life[edit]
Stanford University[edit]
Clinton entered Stanford in the fall of 1997 and majored in history.[22][23] The week before she arrived on campus, her mother published an open letter in her syndicated column asking journalists to leave her daughter alone. Chelsea arrived at Stanford in a motorcade with her parents, Secret Service men, and almost 250 journalists. For her security, bullet-proof glass was installed in her dorm windows and cameras were placed in hallways. In addition, Secret Service men dressed as students lived in her dorm.[24] With the exception of an occasional tabloid story written about her, Chelsea's four years at Stanford remained out of public view.[25]
Clinton graduated in 2001 with highest honors and a B.A. in History.[22][25] The topic of her 150-page senior thesis was the 1998 Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland.[25] At the time of Chelsea's graduation, President Clinton issued a statement saying, "Hillary and I are grateful for the friendships and great learning experiences Chelsea had at Stanford, and we are very proud of her on this special day."[26]
University of Oxford[edit]
In July 2001, President Clinton revealed that Chelsea would be pursuing a master's degree at University College of the University of Oxford later that year – the same college where he studied politics between 1968 and 1970 on a Rhodes Scholarship;[27] Chelsea did not apply for a Rhodes Scholarship. Lord Butler of Brockwell, the Master of University College, said: "Her record at Stanford shows that she is a very well-qualified and able student. The college is also pleased to extend its link with the Clinton family." Upon the recommendation of British and American advisors, the university implemented security measures,[28] and fellow students were asked not to discuss her with the press.[29]
Arriving at Oxford just after the September 11 attacks on the United States, Clinton was drawn to other American students who were also feeling the emotional after-effects of the trauma. She told Talk magazine:
Every day I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling. Over the summer, I thought I would seek out non-Americans as friends, just for diversity's sake. Now I find that I want to be around Americans – people who I know are thinking about our country as much as I am.[29]
Clinton was criticized for those remarks in the London press and by the newspaper Oxford Student, which angered the university by directly attacking her in an editorial.[29] However, people who met Clinton at that time described her as charming, poised and unaffected, and she seemed to be adjusting successfully to life abroad.[29] During her time at Oxford, Chelsea adopted a more sophisticated look, reportedly assisted by a family friend, Donatella Versace, whose couture shows she attended in early 2002. Geordie Greig, the editor of Tatler, ranked her number five on the magazine's 2002 "Top 10 Girls" list.[29]
In 2003, Clinton completed an MPhil in international relations.[30] Following her graduation, she returned to the United States.[22] In 2011, Clinton began pursuing a DPhil in International Relations from Oxford, doing her doctoral work from New York City where she resides;[31][32] she was awarded the degree in May 2014.[33]
Columbia University and New York University[edit]
In the spring of 2010, Clinton completed a Master of Public Health degree at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health[34][35] and she began teaching graduate classes there in 2012.[36]
Starting in 2010, Clinton began serving as Assistant Vice-Provost for the Global Network University of New York University, working on international recruitment strategies.[32] She is the co-founder of the Of Many Institute for Multifaith Leadership at NYU and serves as its co-chair.[37] In 2010, she was also pursuing a PhD at NYU's Wagner School of Public Service, later transferring back to Oxford to complete it.[38][39] In 2012, Clinton received an award from the Temple of Understanding for her "work in advancing a new model of integrating interfaith and cross-cultural education into campus life," together with Imam Khalid Latif and Rabbi Yehuda Sarna.[40]
Professional life[edit]
In 2003, Clinton joined the consulting firm McKinsey & Company in New York City,[22] and she went to work for Avenue Capital Group in the fall of 2006. She served as co-chairman for a fund-raising week for the Clinton Foundation, and subsequently became Vice Chairwoman for the foundation.[33] She serves on the board of the School of American Ballet[22] and on IAC's board of directors.[41][42]
In November 2011, NBC announced that they hired Clinton as a special correspondent. One of her roles was reporting feature stories about "Making a Difference" for NBC Nightly News and Rock Center with Brian Williams. It was a three-month contract and allowed her to concurrently continue working for the Clinton Foundation and pursue her education.[43][44] Clinton's first appearance was on the December 12, 2011, episode of Rock Center.[45] Although she received some critical reviews for her work, Clinton's contract with NBC was renewed in February 2012.[46][47][48] Rock Center ended in May 2013, and Clinton left the network in August 2014.[49][50] Clinton reportedly earned an annual salary of $600,000 for her work at NBC.[51]
