As a community, we provide an open and accessible forum for anyone interested in the goings-on of the wider world. We seek to bring together people with expertise in various fields to comment on the past, present, and future of engaging global issues. Our events are open to all.

In the past we have held lectures by notable authors like Doris Kearns Goodwin (author of Team of Rivals, The Bully Pulpit), Julian Zelizer (Arsenal of Democracy,  CNN commentator), and astronaut Stanley G. Love. We offer regular invited talks, fellowship programs, conduct research seminars, sponsor publications, and provide access to still-uncatalogued Glassboro Summit documents.
