The Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication welcomes all our students back in 2022! A new year brings fresh starts and hopes for many.
This year we warmly welcome IPDGC’s new director, Dr. William Youmans. Dr. Youmans is an associate professor at the George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Affairs. His area of expertise is media law and global communications, Middle Eastern politics and society; social movements, and Arab-American studies. More information on Dr. Youmans can be found here.
Through the hybrid work environment of 2021, IPDGC was able to organize virtual events such as the Walter Roberts Endowment Annual Lecture, present the 2021 Award for Congressional Leadership in Public Diplomacy, and host a Distinguished Humphrey Fellowship program for 15 media professionals from Eastern and Central Europe.
We look forward to more connections made with students, young professionals, and others interested in the fields of public diplomacy and global communication. In 2022, we will plan for more innovative events to support academic excellence in these fields. If you would like to know more about our past activities, please go here.
