Mission 

The mission of The ellioTT school of inTernaTional affairs is: 

• To educate the next generation of international leaders 

• To conduct research and produce scholarship that advances understanding of important global issues 

• To engage the public and the policy community in the United States and around the world, 

thereby fostering international dialogue and shaping policy solutions 

our mission is to create knowledge, share wisdom and inspire action to make our world a better place.

A 

recent survey of scholars ranked the Elliott School’s undergraduate and graduate 

programs in the top 10. Only five schools in the world were ranked this highly in 

both categories. It’s an impressive club. 

It’s also an important club. The issues we study at the Elliott School—ranging from war and 

peace to poverty and development—affect the lives of billions of our fellow human beings. 

Powerful international dynamics—population growth, rising levels of resource consumption, 

the expansion of the global economy, mounting environmental challenges—will shape the 

world in the decades ahead. Wise policy and effective international cooperation will be more 

important than ever. At the Elliott School, the study of international affairs is not an abstract 

exercise. Our aim is to make our world a better place. 

The Elliott School is in a unique position to make a difference. Our location in the heart of 

Washington, DC—just steps from some of the most influential U.S., international and nongovernmental 

organizations in the world—enriches our teaching and research, and it provides 

us with unmatched opportunities to engage the U.S. and international policy communities. 

The Elliott School is special, not just because of where we are, but who we are. As you will 

see in this Annual Report, our scholars, students and alumni are extraordinarily talented 

and dedicated, united by a passion for international affairs and a commitment to others, 

and they are accomplishing great things. The Elliott School community is one of the largest 

networks of international affairs experts in the world, and this further magnifies our impact 

on the world. 

I am grateful to the members of the Elliott School community for their exceptional 

commitment to our collective endeavors. I am especially grateful to our many donors for 

their generous support of this wonderful and important institution. Gifts from donors are 

having transformational effects on our students and faculty, on our teaching and research, 

and on our ability to make a difference in the world.

In the 21st century, international decision makers will need cross-disciplinary knowledge, 

cross-cultural perspectives, keen minds and compassionate hearts. At the Elliott School, we 

prepare our students for this future. Undergraduates study an interdisciplinary liberal arts 

program that draws on anthropology, culture, economics, geography, history, languages, 

political science, science and technology. Graduate students combine rigorous academic 

courses with professional training, including skills courses on topics ranging from political 

analysis to leadership. Students come to the Elliott School from many different parts of the 

globe. They leave the Elliott School prepared to make a difference.

thoroughly enjoyed teaching them for the past 35 years, in many instances 

becoming their friend for a lifetime. There is no greater satisfaction than 

seeing them succeed. I’m thrilled to win the Harry Harding teaching award 

and thank the Elliott School and especially the students for this honor.”

in human trafficking; martin sherwin, Pulitzer 

Prize-winning biographer and expert on the Cuban 

Missile Crisis; and Paul Williams, conflict resolution 

specialist. 

The school hired four new scholars—ilana feldman, 

adina friedman, marc lynch and shira robinson— 

in preparation for the launch of our new MA in 

Middle East Studies in September 2007. The Elliott 

School also appointed nora lustig, former head

“Though I went on to get an MBA from Wharton, it was GW that fostered my love for international 

affairs and international economics, leading me to work all over the globe. Thus, giving to GW was an 

easy decision. I wanted to make sure other students could benefit from a GW education the way I had. 

My professors were experts in their fields, whether that field was academia, government or industry. 

The District of Columbia was my university. I traveled to international law libraries, the Library of 

Congress and any relevant institute to do research for courses. Averell Harriman, diplomat, statesman 

and former U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, led my small group seminar. His wife, Pamela 

Harriman, sat in the back of the room for every class. I was in the center of the political universe! 

When my daughter was ready to go to college, we decided we wanted to start a family tradition, 

mother then daughter, at GW. Maybe if I have a granddaughter, she will continue the tradition.”

On campus, our diverse student body enriches 

our community and the education we provide. 

Our students come from 49 states, the District 

of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, 

56 countries and countless ethnic groups. They 

are recent high school and college graduates, 

young members of the workforce and seasoned 

professionals. Our mid-career master’s program

tutor, and studied abroad in Italy and Ghana. 

Elliott School alumnus charles r. sitter established The Sitter Scholarship in 1997 

to honor outstanding Elliott School students who have worked 25–30 hours a week 

throughout their studies. 

“GW provided me with the opportunity to earn my degree under unusual circumstances. 

It is important to me to give back to the university that helped me become successful 

and to help current students in similar situations succeed as well.”

amb. hunaina sultan ahmed al mughairy, nancy Birdsall, dana Priest and Paula dobriansky. 

Czech Republic; a New York Times correspondent and 

a journalist from the Xinhua News Agency. 

Our students do not simply read about newsmakers; 

they meet and question them directly. For instance, 

our distinguished Women in international affairs 

series hosted Paula dobriansky, under secretary 

of state for democracy and global affairs; dana 

Priest, Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent for 

The Washington Post; omani ambassador hunaina 

sultan ahmed al mughairy, the first female 

ambassador from an Arab country to the United 

States; and nancy Birdsall, president of the Center 

for Global Development. 

Students also learn off campus by engaging the 

larger Washington, DC community. Two students 

of European and Eurasian studies, Kate hall and 

stephen mintz, presented their proposals for the 

future of the European Union to 27 ambassadors 

at the German Embassy. A class assignment on 

enhancing student exchange programs through 

technology resulted in an invitation for alberto

lucini, elizabeth ruedy and Becca smith to present 

their recommendations to public diplomacy officials 

at the U.S. Department of State. 

The Elliott School’s incomparable location allows 

students to gain hands-on experience in their 

areas of study. Undergraduate students pursued 

internships at many organizations, including: U.S. 

Departments of State, Commerce, Defense and 

Treasury; Export-Import Bank; Heritage Foundation; 

Human Rights Campaign; Jane’s Information Group; 

U.S.-China Business Council; and the Woodrow 

Wilson Center. To prepare undergraduates for professional 

life after GW, the Career Center provided 

resume writing and interview workshops and campus 

interviews with employers. 

At the graduate level, more than 75 percent of our 

students complemented their studies with internships 

or paid employment. The Elliott School’s 

Graduate Student Career Development center provided 

alumni mentoring, resume critiques, site visits 

to employers, career fairs, online career listings and

An Elliott School education extends across the globe, 

giving students direct knowledge of other cultures 

and perspectives. In 2006-2007, 377 undergraduates 

and 51 graduate students studied in 47 countries. 

International development studies program students 

worked on aid organization projects in Bolivia, 

Ghana, honduras, india, Kenya, liberia, mexico, 

sierra leone, Tanzania and uganda, gaining 

valuable experience on the front lines of economic 

development. Our students also benefited from 

exposure to the hundreds of international students 

at GW, and the 60 students from 29 countries who 

joined our graduate programs as full-time degree 

students, exchange students or through our master 

of international studies (MIS) dual-degree program. 

The MIS allows students to earn degrees from elite 

foreign universities as well as the Elliott School.

Many of the challenges the world confronts today 

were not on the radar screen a generation ago, from 

the information revolution to climate change to 

China’s rise as an international power. The Elliott 

School constantly updates its curriculum to prepare 

students for the intellectual and professional 

challenges of the 21st century. In 2006-2007, the 

Elliott School added new courses on Political islam, 

energy and national security, human Trafficking, 

fragile and Transition states, Policy options in 

macroeconomic crises and War and conflict in 

africa, among others. We also added new capstone 

courses for graduate students on interagency 

cooperation in the U.S. federal government and 

on evaluating risk in emerging markets, and we 

expanded our professional skills curriculum with new 

courses on analyzing international economic data, 

administration of elections and Political analysis.

engAgeMent 

Engaging the public and the policy community is a key component of the Elliott School’s 

mission. By expanding understanding and encouraging dialogue on global issues, we foster 

informed policy in the United States and around the world. Each year the Elliott School 

hosts hundreds of prominent leaders and foreign affairs experts whose work advances the 

public debate on matters of international importance. Our scholars contribute frequently to 

discussions in the media, and they collaborate regularly with colleagues in the world’s top 

research institutions. Our 16,000 alumni form a global network that further enhances the 

Elliott School’s outreach and influence around the world.

“As alumni, we are part of a grand tradition; a 

tradition given us by our first president. We live 

that tradition every day when we engage with our 

fellow alumni to help them continue benefiting 

from our worldwide community throughout their 

lives, represent the voice of alumni in the University 

community, and continue the philanthropy this 

institution depends on to shape the lives of the 

next generation of alumni.” 

— richard crespin (BA’93)

In 2006-2007, the Elliott School brought alumni 

together in cities around the world. Dean Brown

the internAtionAl council 

The International Council is an advisory body composed of distinguished alumni and friends of the 

Elliott School. Members provide counsel to the dean and offer valuable external perspectives on issues 

facing the school. 

The International Council convenes semi-annually. In October 2006, the Council examined academic 

programs, alumni relations and fundraising, and received a briefing from Assistant Secretary of State 

for Intelligence and Research randall m. fort (BA’78). In April 2007, Council members, students and 

guests heard amb. edward W. Gnehm, Jr. (BA’66, MA’68) deliver his first official lecture as the Kuwait 

Foundation professor of Gulf and Arabian Peninsula affairs. At the meeting that followed, the Council 

focused its attention on the Elliott School’s external relations and met with the Vice Chair of the GW 

Board of Trustees nelson carbonell (BS’85). 

A number of International Council members are active in Elliott School programs: 

maria livanos cattaui and steven l. skancke (BA’72, M.Phil.’78, Ph.D.’81) teach courses 

James B. Quigley (BA’82) and elin Thomasian (BA’00, MBA’05) came to campus to recruit

Timothy J. medina (BA’88) is active with the david h. miller foundation, a group working to enhance 

African Studies at the Elliott School 

We are indebted to this exceptional and engaged corps of leaders. 

“I’ve found that contributing to the Elliott School has been very rewarding. 

It’s been very fulfilling to be a part of building a first-class institution with 

a growing international reputation. But more than that, as compared to 

contributions to other institutions with a history of large endowments, I’ve felt 

that my contributions have had more impact and therefore meant more at the 

Elliott School. In addition, as a contributor, I’ve been made to feel part of the 

community and have been welcomed for my insights and energy as much as 

my monetary commitments. All in all, giving to the school has been a terrific 

experience, and one where I felt that I was making a real difference.”

our supporters 

We are indebted to those who have contributed their time, talent and financial resources to the Elliott 

School’s continued success. The many special gifts we received in 2006–2007 included: 

Gifts from Jack and Pamela cumming to establish the Distinguished Women in International Affairs lecture 

series and to support initiatives in security, conflict and development studies 

Contributions from evelyn e. and lloyd h. elliott, the school’s namesakes, provide for the current life of 

the school and for future generations 

A gift from christopher J. fussner (BA’79) to support a trip to China for five Elliott School faculty members 

A contribution from a. michael hoffman to support research activities in the Institute for European, 

Russian and Eurasian Studies 

A grant from the richardson family foundation to provide stipends for graduate students participating in 

unpaid internships abroad 


“My education at the Elliott School prepared me for my successful 

career as Superintendent of Schools in Prince George’s County, one of the 

nation’s largest school districts. I created an endowed scholarship in the 

hope that I can help future students have a comparable experience.” 

— edward m. felegy (BA’58) 

“It has been a most rewarding experience for me to contribute, in some small way, to the 

major accomplishments that the school’s leadership has achieved. The Elliott School has grown 

tremendously in terms of accomplishments and stature, and is truly a world-class institution. 

I am proud to be part of such a dynamic institution, and have enjoyed the ride to get there.”

The daVid h. miller endoWmenT 

David H. Miller (BA’87) died at the age of 39 of lymphoma in 2004. After his death, friends and family established the 

David H. Miller Endowment for African Studies at the Elliott School. David Miller believed that Africa’s success will be 

ensured by access to higher education for African nationals, and by educating people in the developed world about the 

economic, cultural and political challenges in Africa today. As the Miller endowment grows, the fund’s annual earnings 

will enrich African studies at GW through part-time professorships, by sponsoring public lecture series and extending 

financial support to African students to attend the Elliott School. 

“David H. Miller dedicated his career to the advancement of U.S.-African relations. The 

David H. Miller Endowment is dedicated to perpetuating his legacy. The Endowment will 

sponsor programs to raise local awareness for healthcare, political and economic initiatives 

in Africa, fund and support graduate student exchange programs and build African studies 

at the Elliott School. The Endowment also seeks to increase awareness of problems in 

Africa, and through educational programs, develop sustainable solutions.” 

— Maria Reed (BA’87)

H. Miller Foundation posed for a photo:
