Quote from the Dean, Mr. Michael E. Brown, June 2010

Our students have dedicated themselves to learning about, thinking about, and caring about people from around the world. Our faculty members inspire and educate the next generation of international leaders, and they develop new insights into and policy responses for complex global challenges. Our alumni — who now number more than 17,000 — have influential positions in the private, public, and non-profit sectors across the United States and around the world. Through the Elliott School’s new Web Video Initiative we are able to share many of our special events with alumni and the interested public around the world, bringing these illuminating discussions to a larger audience than ever before.
