“IWP has a well-earned reputation for its practical, serious, and engaged approach to studying national security — pedagogical principles shared by UVU’s national security program. I anticipate that many of our students will find great opportunities as graduate students and interns at IWP. I am confident that this partnership will enable our students to further their knowledge and skills and successfully pursue careers in service of their country.”
Professor Ryan Vogel, the founding director of the Center for National Security Studies at UVU
“IWP recognized immediately that students in UVU’s national security program are highly engaged and dedicated to learning and mastering the practice of national security. The solid foundation these students are receiving in the NSS program make them ideal candidates for our graduate degrees and for careers in defense, diplomacy, and related industries. This partnership seems a natural fit amidst a shared mission, and we anticipate UVU students will be strong and welcome additions to IWP’s internship and graduate programs.”
