Leading through service
What does the world need most? Security experts who know that understanding conflict is a step on the path to peace. Environmentalists fluent where biodiversity meets policy. Communicators who acknowledge the need to be diplomats and diplomats who grasp the necessity to be effective communicators. Economists interested in the consequences of trade. Leaders who believe that violence is neither necessary nor inevitable. Scholars who connect knowledge with practice. Practitioners across disciplines who understand that service isn’t a moment – it’s a mindset.
At the School of International Service, we believe that the world needs leaders ready to serve.
Service is the foundation on which our school is built, and represents the best of what we aspire to be. Through the transformational research and teaching of our renowned faculty, SIS prepares our students for global careers in government, non-profits, and business.
We are a top 10 school of international affairs, strategically based in Washington, DC. Since our founding in 1957, we have answered President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s call to prepare students of international affairs to “wage peace.” Over the intervening years, SIS has grown in stature and influence and is now a destination for students seeking to think critically, build understanding, and wage peace in our world.
