About

The Eisenhower Institute is a distinguished center for leadership and public policy based in Washington, D.C. and in Gettysburg, PA. Honoring the legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower, The Eisenhower Institute prepares the successor generations to perfect the promise of the nation through engagement in distinctive programs of leadership and public policy.

A program of Gettysburg College, the Institute is a non-partisan, non-profit, presidential legacy organization that develops and sponsors civic discourse on significant issues of domestic and international public policy. Its activities include research and scholarship, education and outreach, and recognition and celebration. We strive to embody Eisenhower's model of public policy formation and leadership, and our programs encourage greater understanding of our core governmental institutions, bridging the perspectives of scholars, policy-makers, students, and citizens.

With offices in the heart of the nation's capital and in an historic home in Gettysburg once occupied by Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower, the Institute provides both top-level dialogue among policy-makers and a premier learning experience for undergraduates-by carefully blending the two.

The Institute is governed by a board of directors and has both a campus advisory council and a public advisory board.
