Our Work
On behalf of Paine College, Rasky Baerlein works to secure federal monies that support the institution’s higher education objectives. This includes educating Members of Congress, policymakers and key regional and local stakeholders about the school's academic and economic benefits both in Washington, D.C. and Georgia. For example, Rasky Baerlein worked to elevate awareness about Paine’s Critical Language Institute, a program that coordinates with a nearby military base to teach military students Middle Eastern languages and customs in order to better develop their abilities to perform overseas.
