THE FUND FOR AMERICAN STUDIES 2011


TFAS YEAR IN

The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) seeks to create a brighter, more prosperous future by preparing young people for leadership, teaching them the ideas of freedom and a free-market economy. Our approach is to recruit young people likely to pursue careers in public policy, journalism, international affairs, business, government and related fields, and to educate them in the ideas most conducive to human achievement – individual liberty and personal responsibility. Founded in 1967, TFAS organizes programs in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.

Dear Friends,

from the

CHAIRMAN and

PRESIDENT

We are pleased to present this report on the achievements of The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) over the past year. In the pages that follow, you will see many graphics and figures that show the scope and impact of our work. One key fact is that TFAS continues to reach more and more students in its programs each year. We enrolled a record 853 students in our 11 different institutes in 2011, teaching them our Founding Fathers’ principles of freedom and free-market economics. Survey results from our students reveal our programs had an immediate impact on them; 82 percent of them said they were exposed to new ideas, and 93 percent said they would recommend the programs to a friend. Their comments echoed what students have been saying about TFAS programs for the past 42 years – that they changed their lives. For many alumni, TFAS programs helped them get their first job, propelled them to graduate school or law school and, for some, the programs were even where they met their future spouse. For others, the programs convinced them to pursue a career in politics, journalism, business or the nonprofit sector.

THE FUND FOR AMERICAN STUDIES

Indeed, TFAS has a great tradition of achievement by its more than 13,000 alumni around the world. The TFAS alumni ranks include CEOs of companies and trade associations, members of the House of Representatives and Senate, and network news anchors and correspondents. TFAS alumni are also judges, state legislators, college presidents, bestselling authors and think-tank presidents. To keep these alumni engaged in the life of the organization, we have expanded our continuing education programs for alumni. In 2011 we launched the Journalism Fellows, a networking and education program for alumni working as journalists. We also selected key alumni to attend four weekend seminars on topics related to liberty. Meanwhile, hundreds of alumni participated in regional and national alumni events, and hundreds of others served as recruitment ambassadors, mentors, guest speakers or intern supervisors.


In 2011 we made strides in spreading the message of free markets and limited government through the use of social media and Internet technologies. Our blog Pileus has had more than 312,000 view in the past two years, and our Facebook group has more than 3,200 fans. We produced an educational video that went viral, reaching more than 76,000 viewers in 150 countries. All of our efforts are designed to teach the next generation of leaders the importance of character and bedrock American principles of freedom and free enterprise. Our message is consistently this: that America is a special place and that our freedom is a rare and precious gift worth defending. Randal Teague

The great American statesman Daniel Webster once said, “Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again.” We believe – and we hope you agree – that our programs are critically important to the future of our country. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. There is no doubt that what they learn today will have a great impact on how they choose to lead tomorrow. The future of the American experiment depends on their ability to uphold the Constitution and the principles of liberty.

Roger Ream

Sincerely,

Randal C. Teague Chairman

MEGAN’S STORY

Spending a summer in Washington, D.C. has always been a dream for Megan Neunan (J 11). An aspiring journalist, the college junior spends her spare time at Northwestern University working with Pulitzer Prize-winning professors on a watchdog reporting initiative. Last summer Megan decided to make the trip to Washington to take part in the Institute on Political Journalism. “TFAS was the most comprehensive program of anything that I looked at, and I wanted the whole experience,” said Megan. As a TFAS student, Megan worked 30 hours a week at her internship with the Army News Service on top of taking three accredited courses. According to Megan, her course with Professor Richard Benedetto, a former White House reporter, was especially beneficial. “Even at Northwestern, I haven’t had anyone look at my writing that closely,” said Megan. “I thought, this guy knows what he’s doing.” Megan soaked in everything she learned in the seminar. “It really got me thinking about word choice and bias. I’ve been way more careful about my writing since then,” she said. Megan hopes to return to Washington to work in broadcast journalism after graduation. She plans to stay in touch with TFAS throughout her career by mentoring future TFAS students with similar career aspirations, following in the footsteps of the alumni she met during her time with IPJ.

All participants are enrolled in accredited classes where they can earn either six or nine credit hours.

Academic study is focused on engaging students in a rigorous examination of the values of a free society. Each institute offers an intense academic program with two mandatory courses as well as an optional internship seminar that focuses on leadership development and career-building activities.

COURSEWORK

THE TFAS EXPERIENCE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

Because the institutes are designed to influence and encourage future leaders, TFAS markets its programs to college students across the political spectrum. This means that conservative and liberal students, and others who have not yet shaped their political beliefs, enroll in the programs. This approach differentiates TFAS from other organizations that are also working to develop young leaders.

All students in TFAS U.S. programs are placed in professional internships where they work for

approximately 35 hours per week. Through their internships, students test themselves in their chosen professional fields, gain work experience, develop skills and make valuable professional contacts. For decades TFAS has forged relationships with leading organizations in public policy, journalism, government

INTERNSHIPS

u

relations, business and philanthropy, thus ensuring students have access to the most challenging and fulfilling internships in Washington.

u

For TFAS students, just as much learning takes place outside the classroom as it does inside the class-

key professionals and scholars at special events and guest lectures. In 2011 students attended briefings on the House floor and at the Federal Reserve, the Office of the United States Trade Representative and the Supreme Court.

PROGRAMS u

When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, The Fund for American Studies began providing scholarships to university students from Central and Eastern Europe to attend its programs in Washington. The number of students seeking these scholarships became so large that TFAS established an international institute in Prague in 1993. TFAS has since added four other international institutes to help bring the principles of freedom to future leaders all over the world.

A MERICAN INSTITUTE ON POLITICAL & ECONOMIC SYSTEMS (AIPES) PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC

With the collapse of communism, a tremendous need arose to reach young people from countries in the former Soviet Bloc with the ideas of a free society. AIPES offers students from Central and Eastern Europe as well as the United States the opportunity to study the principles of democracy and free markets.

u

INSTITUTE FOR POLITICAL ECONOMY (AIPE) ASIA HONG KONG

AIPE promotes the principles of economic opportunity, freedom and individual responsibility in Asia and fosters a greater understanding of the American system of government. To accomplish this, outstanding university students from Asia join select American students to study political and economic principles and how those ideas relate to development and trade.

u

I NTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR POLITICAL & ECONOMIC STUDIES (IIPES) CRETE, GREECE

The cradle of Western civilization and birthplace of democracy provides an excellent backdrop for IIPES. This program allows young leaders of the Middle East, the Balkans and the United States to examine how democratic institutions and market economies create peace and prosperity.

u

I NSTITUTE FOR LEADERSHIP IN THE AMERICAS (ILA) SANTIAGO, CHILE

ILA teaches university students from the Americas about constitutional government, the rule of law, the institutions of private property and market economies. The program encourages students to develop their leadership skills and to apply these concepts to institutions in their home countries.

STEPHANIE’S STORY

Being from El Salvador, Stephanie Alvarez (ILA 11, CSS 12) hadn’t heard of TFAS until the day she received an email from a friend raving about the Institute for Leadership in the Americas, the TFAS program held in Santiago, Chile. As a highly motivated student studying international relations at Francisco Gavidia University in San Salvador, Stephanie immediately applied to the program. Stephanie knew she needed a scholarship in order to attend ILA and had high hopes that she would be awarded assistance. After several weeks awaiting word on her status, Stephanie was thrilled to finally receive the news that she was not only accepted into the program, but would also receive funding to participate. “I couldn’t have been more thankful for the opportunity because it truly was a life-changing experience,” said Stephanie. According to Stephanie, ILA gave her a better understanding of U.S. history and the Constitution as well as economics and international development. “It was an honor to have classes with Dr. Bradley Thompson and a lecture from Jose Piñera, a world-famous economist. It was truly a privilege,” said Stephanie. After her first taste of TFAS, she was also inspired to attend Capital Semester in Washington, which she completed in spring 2012. Now back at home in El Salvador, Stephanie says she looks forward to becoming a responsible leader and is enthusiastic for a future as part of a society with freedoms and greater opportunities. “TFAS places their trust and hopes, not only in me, but in many young people around the world,” said Stephanie. “Whatever I can do to give back to an organization that has given me so much and helped me achieve my dreams, I will.”

u

Each of The Fund for American Studies’ international programs brings together the brightest

students from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and North Africa for an intense academic and cross-cultural experience. A small group of American students also attends each program, giving international participants direct exposure to the ideas and values of United States citizens. One highlight of the international programs is the annual cultural presentations when students

ALUMNI GIVE BACK

Forty-three alumni serve on this national board, which meets at least twice a year and offers advice and support for alumni initiatives. The council is comprised of U.S. chapter presidents and at-large members.

A student’s involvement with TFAS doesn’t end upon completion of an institute. Many choose to give back to TFAS by contributing their skills and time to various alumni initiatives.
