American Enterprise Institute- Summer Institute 2013

The American Enterprise Summer Institute brings together 25 select college undergraduates for an opportunity unlike any other in Washington: a month long, fully funded experience learning the principles of public policy analysis and discussing liberty, individual opportunity and free enterprise.

Summer Institute students spend a month learning from and working with AEI scholars and fellows. But these aren’t typical think tankers. AEI researchers uniquely understand Washington, having spent time as political appointees, executive branch consultants, journalists, professors, and writers. No other program has a core faculty with such diverse and distinguished backgrounds.

Summer Institute instructors and guest speakers include:

• Arthur Brooks, AEI President; Author of "The Road to Freedom: How to Win the Fight for Free Enterprise"
• Tim Carney, AEI Visiting Fellow; Senior Political Columnist for the Washington Examiner
• Frederick Kagan, Director of AEI's Critical Threats Project
• Ramesh Ponnuru, AEI Visiting Fellow; Senior Editor of National Review; Bloomberg Columnist
• Gary Schmitt, Director of AEI's Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies
• Sita Slavov, AEI Resident Scholar; Former Senior Economist, White House Council of Economic Advisers
• Paul Wolfowitz, AEI Scholar; Former President of the World Bank and Deputy Secretary of Defense
• More speakers to be confirmed

At the end of the summer, students leave understanding why—and how—AEI scholars think like they do. And they leave prepared to make a difference, as more effective intellectual and practical supporters of liberty, individual opportunity, and free enterprise in America and around the world.

The 2013 Summer Institute will take place in Washington, DC, from June 16 to July 13.
