Administrative Program Coordinator
Anjali Gladson is a proud UT Austin alumna, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in government with minors in National Security & International Business and Arabic. During her undergraduate years, she was deeply involved in student programming, outreach, and research—most notably as Senior Student Associate for the Intelligence Studies Project, where she led event coordination and communications to connect students with opportunities in national security. She also contributed to research on peacekeeping and disinformation and was selected for competitive fellowships with the Clements Center for National Security and the Strauss Center for International Security and Law. Having benefited greatly from mentorship during her own time as a student, Anjali is eager to help Patman Center students build the same transformative connections that shaped her academic and professional journey. In her role, she coordinates programming, student engagement initiatives, and outreach efforts to advance the Center’s mission of cultivating bipartisan public leaders.
"As a UT alum, I’m thrilled to return to campus and help create opportunities that inspire students to lead with purpose. I know firsthand how impactful mentorship can be—it shaped my undergraduate experience and my career path—so I’m especially excited to help connect students with mentors who will guide and encourage them along their journeys."
