The Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication wishes all the best for 2022!
By Yvonne Oh, IPDGC Program Coordinator
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.
For 2022, IPDGC, with the Walter Roberts Endowment, will continue to support public diplomacy excellence in academia and for career professionals. If you would like to know more about our other activities, please go here.
And you can always support our public diplomacy activities here.
