Thirty-six students from colleges and universities throughout the United States and abroad have been selected to participate in the Woodrow Wilson School's 2008 Junior Summer Institute (JSI). This year's program, which will begin June 12 and end August 1, will help prepare students for graduate study and careers in public policy and international affairs.

Woodrow Wilson School Dean Anne-Marie Slaughter inaugurated PolicyNet's new Virtual Seminar series with a talk about "networking as the best form of global governance." Students and faculty from five other PolicyNet schools participated via videoconference and video webcast.

A three-day workshop on global institutional reform titled "Rising States, Rising Institutions," will be held August 25 - 27 on the Princeton campus. The invitation-only event will convene past and current global governance researchers and experts in international relations, economics, international security, law, and management, who will examine the means by which global governance can encourage international development and economic growth, and maintain peace and stability.

Video webcasts of the Woodrow Wilson's School's public affairs lectures and panels for the 2007-08 academic year are available online. The webcasts may be viewed with Real Player or Windows Media Player applications.
