The world鈥檚 security landscape is shifting faster than ever, demanding fresh thinking and experienced leadership. At the 泡芙视频app, the Global and National Security Institute is answering that call by welcoming 20 new Non-Resident Distinguished and Senior Fellows this semester. Their backgrounds span continents and disciplines鈥攎ilitary operations, diplomacy, intelligence, technology, and humanitarian affairs.
These new Fellows underscore GNSI鈥檚 belief that meaningful progress in national security comes from uniting operational expertise with academic rigor. This creates a collaboration between those who have led on the ground and those who study the future.
This diverse cohort captures the full scope of GNSI鈥檚 work: from strategic defense and cyber innovation to cultural diplomacy and counterterrorism. Each fellow brings a unique perspective shaped by service, scholarship, and a deep understanding of how global challenges intersect.
More than experts, they are mentors, connectors, and thought leaders. Their addition
reflects GNSI鈥檚 continued dedication to blending real-world experience with academic
depth鈥攑reparing the next generation to lead in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
