The U.S. Foreign Policy Institute launched its summer program at Bard College on Saturday, June 25. Sponsored by Bard’s Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the program hosts 18 notable multinational scholars and educators for a six-week exchange program entitled “Grand Strategy in Context: Institutions, People, and the Making of U.S. Foreign Policy.” The scholars have been nominated by U.S. embassies, consulates, and Fulbright commissions, and hail from 16 countries. The program provides participants with historical and political grounding in U.S. foreign policy, and helps them develop syllabi, curricula, and the teaching tools to effectively implement the material in the classroom. In the past week, the scholars have had the opportunity to meet with local government officials, visit the Omi International Arts Center, and meet with Rep. Chris Gibson to discuss U.S. foreign policy.
