Griffin Rubin, Class of 2009

Passion for Politics 

Griffin Rubin remembers the eighth grade class trip and leadership retreats at SAA. He said, “My time at The Academy influenced my life in innumerable ways. Most importantly, SAA taught me how to be courteous, diplomatic and disciplined. These assets have been so helpful in many different facets of my life already and will continue to be useful in the future.”

Last summer he participated in a Congressional Internship, in which he worked for the Office of U.S. Congressman Michael T. McCaul in D.C. Griffin is currently a candidate for a B.A. in Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania (2017). He is a member of the Editorial Board for the university’s official undergraduate political science journal called Sound Politicks. A Conference Committee member of the Wharton Business and Law Association, Griffin has also published an article in Penn News Today entitled “Para Formar Todo Hogar.”

Griffin encourages SAA students, “Take full advantage of all the opportunities and advantages The Academy has to offer. If you give all that you can to The Academy, the school will give you all that you need and more.”
