Publication Date: Thursday, June 15, 2006

The Institute of World Politics Class of 2006 graduated triumphantly June 9, as the recipients of three certificates and 12 Master's degrees anticipated the imminent accreditation of the school.
"Studying here at the Institute of World Politics has only reinforced for me the idea that this subject called statecraft begins and ends with the character of our culture," valedictorian Jennifer Marshall said.
"The success of our foreign policy is very much influenced by the strength of our civil society and the nature of American education. America is a nation based on ideas, and those ideas must be cherished and passed on," said valedictorian Marshall, who is Director of Domestic Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation.
Former Attorney General Edwin Meese and current US Ambassador to Estonia Aldona Wos, both featured speakers, received Doctor of Laws,
Honoris Causa degrees.
"To practice statecraft is to be a witness to those ideas, called to testify about what this great nation is and what we as Americans believe."
