LTG(R) H.R. McMaster was named a 2018-19 Perry World House Fellows. Perry World House (PWH), Penn's global policy research institute, brings students and faculty from across Penn's schools and disciplines together with practitioners and policymakers from around the world to advance interdisciplinary, policy-relevant research on the world's most urgent global affairs challenges.
"Perry World House continues to bring the world to Penn and give our students and scholars alike an unrivaled opportunity to learn from and collaborate with some of the most powerful and experienced players on the international stage," said Penn President Amy Gutmann. "This year's impressive class of fellows will ensure that Perry World House continues to be a home on campus to the Penn community as well as stimulating conversations about the most pressing issues facing the world."
"Like our previous classes, this year's visiting fellows, which includes a who's who of policy leaders from around the world and different branches of the U.S. government, will truly become a part of the Penn community," said William Burke-White, Richard Perry Professor and inaugural director of Perry World House. "We are building specific programs around each visitor to leverage the remarkable depth and breadth of their experience and maximize their potential to benefit Penn faculty and undergraduate and graduate students."
