IWP celebrates 20th Anniversary with gala dinner
On April 14, The Institute of World Politics marked its 20th Anniversary with a gala dinner attended by almost 500 friends, supporters, faculty, students, and alumni.  General Michael Hayden was the keynote speaker, and IWP conferred an honorary degree on philanthropist and national security advocate Joseph E. Robert, Jr.

Meet IWP supporters Louis DeJoy and Aldona Wos
IWP is grateful to all of its supporters who are helping IWP grow and continue its mission of preparing the next generation of leaders.  The gala celebration of IWP's 20th anniversary, however, would not have been possible without the dedication of two particular supporters and friends of IWP - Louis DeJoy and Amb. Aldona Wos.

Meet IWP student Jubal Biggs
New IWP student Jubal Biggs brings a wealth of experience to his studies at IWP - he has fought terrorism in the Middle East even before 9/11, run for City Council in California, studied in Israel, and worked on Capitol Hill. What brought him to IWP? And what will he do next?
