Opening Doors: Embracing Diversity in National Security
The series is intended to expand ISP’s reach to students from underrepresented demographics (racial, ethnic, and geographic) to aid in recruitment for internships and junior staff positions, and to raise awareness of ISP’s mission and purpose.
This series is part of broader set of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the International Security Program. To learn more, visit us here and read our DEI Action Plan here.
If you are a university or college official and you are interested in partnering with CSIS on this initiative, please contact the ISP DEI team at ispoutreach@csis.org.
