Dear students,
After five long months, we will soon welcome you back to the Hamilton Lugar School and Indiana University. You are embarking on this journey in an unprecedented moment of global challenge. It's a moment from which you and your classmates will emerge as leaders of a new era—one requiring resilience, adaptability, and commitment to global engagement. I want to reassure you that all of us, the dedicated faculty and staff of the Hamilton Lugar School, will be with you every step of the way, providing the support, skills, and tools you need to build a global career in a post-COVID world.
You're ready for this, and we're ready for you.
We'll be in touch frequently throughout August, but here are a few items to get on your radar:
- Race, Gender & Power in Global Affairs: Our new speaker series begins next month with panels on women of color in advancing peace and security and Black voices in international studies.
