Meet Supporters of IWP

My IWP

Stephen A. Fausel, Director of The Fausel Foundation, CEO of Fausel Companies

"The Fausel Foundation... so strongly supports the IWP not only because of its unique and excellent academic program but also because of its people and thus its leadership. In the end we fight for those persons and principles that we love and the IWP will create a human factor, a wonderful crop of bright and correctly educated people who will fight for us all."

Amb. Barbara Barrett

"America's global political acumen will be decisive to our future in this interconnected world. No facility in the world prepares students for internat ional political leadership as precisely or as well as The Institute of World Politics."

John Castle, CEO of Castle Harlan, Inc.

"IWP is providing something extremely valuable and necessary, and it does a great deal with very limited resources. So often in the modern world, you can give a lot of money, for which you get very little... And a little goes a long way at IWP."

Ken and Cheryl Cohen

"We feel it is important to support IWP because the work it is doing is so unique, yet so fundamental to our country's continued existence. IWP is training leaders and those who want to protect our freedom, giving them the essential knowledge, history, and methodologies to accomplish work in statecraft and national defense that no other entity does.... Without understanding the goals and methods of our enemies, how are those in statecraft and government ever going to be able to protect us?"
- Cheryl Cohen, CEO of the LOOC Foundation

Louis DeJoy and Aldona Wos

"IWP's focus on history and ethical and moral conduct of statecraft that is based on an appreciation of American founding principles is truly the foundation for our future leaders. It is at IWP that students learn to defend our freedom with strength of character, statesmanship, and uncompromised National Security."
-Amb. Aldona Wos

"IWP's program is realistic, ambitious, and diligent. You don't show up to a class unprepared. In the small classes, almost every professor I've had toys with you, challenges you, and defies you."

IWP student and 2006 alumnus Senior airline captain, instructor, and supervisory pilot; aviation security consultant

"The Institute's superb curriculum and fine faculty, with excellent backgrounds in both government and the academic world, create a well-integrated program that produces professionals well-grounded in the real world of security and foreign affairs, and in the underlying history, principles, and ethical issues of statecraft."

- R. James Woolsey,
Former Director of Central Intelligence

"Senior Army, Navy, and Marine Corps officers consider IWP's public diplomacy and political warfare curriculum to be ‘the only game in town.'"

-Dr. J. Michael Waller,
IWP Annenber Professor of International Communication
