About the Organization

The Jackson Institute for Global Affairs offers interdisciplinary academic programs that inspire and prepare Yale students for global leadership and service.

Founded in 2009 with a transformational gift from John (’67) and Susan Jackson, the Institute builds on Yale’s centuries long tradition of educating leaders in fields of global affairs.

The Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program is also part of the Jackson community. Each fall, we welcome 16 accomplished, mid-career global leaders to Yale for a four-month immersive transformational journey. World Fellows contribute to Yale’s intellectual life, participate in events, collaborate with peers, audit classes, mentor students and lead round-table discussions. The program, established in 2002, has a network of more than 400 Fellows from 91 countries.
