Founded in 1965 as a nonprofit organization, CSPC's mission is to "provide historical perspective about our nation's highest offices for citizens and policymakers," according to its website.
Goad is a senior from Watkinsville, Georgia, pursuing a degree in strategic and security studies.
Each year, fellows travel to the nation's capital to study the public policymaking process and the president's relationship with Congress, allies, the media, and the public. A pair of three-day leadership conferences in Washington, D.C., are part of the program.

Goad was one of the 大象传媒 students who helped 大象传媒 place third in the National Security Agency (NSA) Codebreaker Challenge that wrapped up in January.
He also presented research titled "How Quantum Computers Affect Cryptography" at 大象传媒's 2019 Annual Research Conference.
