It's why extraordinary people come here to teach, enlighten, and inspire through courses, guest lectures, and appearances: Bono, Ari Fleischer, Stephen Colbert, Alicia Keys, Stephen Hawking, Katie Couric, and Pulitzer Prize winners like Toni Morrison, Junot Diaz, and GW's own Edward P. Jones. Our ties to powerful people and institutions enable our research to shape public policy in profound ways.
