Transformational Gift to Create Jackson Institute for Global Affairs

“We hope to inspire students to pursue careers in diplomacy and public service and to become globally engaged leaders in all walks of life,” said John Jackson, a 1967 graduate of Yale College. “We are delighted to help Yale advance this mission.”

The Jackson Institute will initially recruit four members of the tenured faculty to teach half their courses in the International Studies major and the International Relations masters program. Yale will also recruit at least four distinguished practitioners of international affairs as Senior Fellows of the Jackson Institute to teach in the undergraduate and master’s programs and be valuable counselors and mentors to students aspiring to public and international service.
