To celebrate the Institute of Current World Affairs’s upcoming 100th anniversary, the Board of Trustees invites you to become a founding member of the Centennial Global Council established to further develop and secure our crucial mission for a second century.
Since its founding in 1925, the Institute of Current World Affairs has sent young women and men abroad to acquire deep knowledge of foreign countries and cultures—a mission as important today as when it was launched.
Institute fellows have become some of our country’s leading journalists, scholars, diplomats, activists and businesspeople based on the unique fellowships first designed by our founders Charles R. Crane and Walter Rogers. We continue their tradition with your support.
