The Jackson Institute for Global Affairs promotes education and scholarship on global affairs at Yale University. Based in New Haven, Connecticut, the institute’s mission is to inspire and prepare Yale students for global leadership and service. The institute, which was established in 2010, is home to a master’s program in global affairs, a master of advanced study in global affairs and an undergraduate major in global affairs. The master’s program in global affairs was called international relations prior to its redesign and name change in 2013. The Jackson Institute, led by director James A. Levinsohn, also includes the undergraduate Global Health Studies program, the Kerry Initiative, the Yale World Fellows program and the Johnson Center for the Study of American Diplomacy.

Foundation
In April 2009, Yale announced it had received a $50 million gift to create the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs. In the fall of 2010, the
university officially opened the institute. The donation came from ex-pharmaceutical businessman and philanthropist John Jackson, a 1967 graduate of Yale College, and his wife Susan. Jackson said he originally intended to become a diplomat when entering Yale, like his great-grandfather.[3] Regarding the gift, Jackson stated, "We hope to inspire students to pursue careers in diplomacy and public service and to become globally engaged leaders in all walks of life." Yale President Richard Levin added, "The Jackson Institute will become a signature program, marking Yale’s global aspirations. Its teaching programs will permeate the University, expanding the curriculum in international affairs so that students in all its schools are better prepared for global leadership and service."[4]
Senior Fellows
A key component of the Jackson Institute is its "Senior Fellows" - distinguished policy practitioners and experts in global affairs that teach courses, consult with students on career goals and conduct their own research.[5]
Past and current Senior Fellows include:[6][7]
