International Partnerships
In keeping with Truman’s legacy, TSPA has a wide array of international linkages. Truman School students and alumni come from five continents. Students have served as Peace Corps volunteers, as interns with the US State Department, with other national consulates or embassies in Washington, and with International non-government organizations (NGOs) such as the Red Cross/Red Crescent. TSPA alums now work for government agencies and NGOs in many different countries. Truman School faculty members participate in international projects around the world. Scholars from Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world regularly visit the Truman School, often for extended periods of time. These international networks inform our classroom and curriculum. They help prepare our students for work in an increasingly global society, and offer rich opportunities for future research, teaching and public service for all Truman School constituents.
In addition to the numerous individual international connections represented by faculty members, students,
and alumni, the Truman School has established a range of strategic international partnerships with governments
and institutions that involve long-term commitments for faculty and/or student exchanges, joint instructional
programs, and collaborative research.
