Rice was accepted to Harvard University, where she majored in political science. Her education was essentially the same as IRL, except at Harvard and Boston College. She met the Director of Soviet Affairs, R. Nicholas Burns, in 1985, after Scowcroft appointed her his Soviet expert on the USNSC. As they dated, Condoleezza appeared to have "captivated" Secretary of State George H. W. Bush, in the words of her husband and Bush's son, George W. Bush. Her expertise led to her being appointed Ambassador to Yugoslavia in July of 1987, two months after she and her husband married. She served for a year and a half before she was recalled to D. C. to serve as U. N. Ambassador and National Security Advisor while her husband served as Deputy Secretary of State. The pair would be remembered by Tsongas, Todd, and Dean. This was because Todd served as Secretary of the Treasury from 1989-1991, while Dean, in the same time frame, served as HLW Secretary(Health, Labor, and Welfare). Condoleeza Rice resigned from Secretary of State in January of 2005. Burns replaced her until January of 2007, when he resigned because Rice had been elected Representative of Massachusetts. Rice would go on to be elected Governor in 2010, alongside her running mate, Nikki Tsongas. Rice's successful governorship allowed her to run for President in 2016.
