The George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs is engaging the world in a multitude of ways. At the Elliott School, the study of international affairs is not an abstract exercise. Engaging the world is integral to the school’s mission, and this is reflected throughout our teaching, research, and service.

If the goal is global impact, size matters. The Elliott School is the largest school of international affairs in the United States, with almost 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Our B.A. program has more than 2,000 exceptionally talented students, making it the largest undergraduate major at GW and the largest B.A. program in international affairs in the country. In May 2010, more than 800 students walked across the stage at the Elliott School’s commencement ceremony, joining more than 17,000 alumni in leadership positions in more than 100 countries around the world.

Our faculty members are engaging the world through innovative research. In 2009-10, James Foster’s pathbreaking work on poverty measurement was featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education and adopted by the government of Mexico. Charles Glaser’s book on international competition and cooperation is a new landmark in the field. Martha Finnemore and Susan Sell published Who Governs the Globe?, shedding new light on the motivations and dynamics of key global actors. Faculty also launched major new projects, including the Program on New Approaches to Research and Security in Eurasia, the Project on Middle East Political Science, and the Rising Powers Initiative—all supported by substantial external grants. The Elliott School’s Institute for Security and Conflict Studies, launched Fall 2009, sponsored 22 events on nuclear policy issues.

The Elliott School’s special events are some of the most visible ways in which we engage the broader academic and policy communities around the world. In 2009-10, we sponsored a stunning array of more than 300 public events, featuring one Nobel Prize winner, two current heads of state, three Pulitzer Prize winners, a dozen officials from the IMF and World Bank, 21 current or former ambassadors from 24 countries, more than two dozen U.S. government officials from 12 agencies and departments, and dozens of leading scholars.

The Elliott School’s new Web Video Initiative extends the reach of many of our events to scholars, students, policymakers, and citizens around the world. In 2009-10, we posted videos of 70 talks from 41 separate events, turning our unique Foggy Bottom resources into a global educational resource. Throughout this report, you will find this icon designating events that can be found in our online video library.

Our students and alumni are engaging the world as well. On the cover and throughout this report, you will find spectacular photos taken by our students and alumni during their studies, service, and work around the world. You will read many of their stories as well.

I am grateful to every member of the Elliott School community—faculty, students, staff, alumni, parents, and friends—for your tremendous dedication to this extraordinary school. I am especially grateful to our donors for your generous support. Thanks to all of you, GW’s Elliott School of International Affairs is in a unique and powerful position to engage the world and make our world a better place.

GW convened a working group of officials from across the university to share information about potential relief efforts, coordinate with and offer technical assistance to student organizations initiating relief efforts, and identify and support students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Haitian descent.

Elliott School alumni who were on the ground in Haiti provided first-hand accounts of the disaster and the challenges it posed. Alan Isaac (M.A. ’02), who was stationed in Haiti with Catholic Relief Services during the earthquake, said via LinkedIn, “This will have a devastating effect on Haiti, and there will be difficult questions that the country needs to answer for itself.”

Skyler Badenoch (M.A. ’06) worked as a first responder in an internally displaced persons camp near the quake’s epicenter. Badenoch, an amateur photographer, chronicled his experiences through photographs that he exhibited publicly on the website Flickr.

GW experts helped the community understand the effects of the earthquake. On January 25, 2010, the Elliott School’s Culture in Global Affairs (CIGA) program convened five speakers who provided insights into underlying sociopolitical factors that added to the earthquake’s physical devastation and psychological effects on survivors. CIGA Director Barbara Miller used a post in her blog anthropologyworks.com to examine some of the historical factors that led to Haiti’s dire economic situation. On CNN.com, faculty member Peter Hotez, chair of GW’s Department on Microbiology, Immunology, and Tropical Medicine, provided his analysis of the health consequences of the quake.
