BUILDING FUTURE LEADERS
1
FROM THE
CHAIRMAN &
PRESIDENT
Chairman
Randal C. Teague
To accomplish such a dream requires many
things. Top among them is infrastructure. So,
early this year The Fund opened the new Center for Teaching Freedom. This new building
is located just across the street from our headquarters in the historic Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
But it is so much more than just a building.
On the first floor is our new classroom. It is
the first time in The Fund’s 42-year history
that we’ve owned our own. Here, students from
throughout the United States and from all over
the world learn about free markets, the Constitution, and the consequences of government
intervention in the economy.
Upstairs is a hub of activity. Here our program
staff recruit the very best students, design our
curricula and work with our internship sponsors to ensure that our students emerge as the
leaders of tomorrow.
The new Center for Teaching Freedom also
gives us the capacity for growth. It begins with
our new Institute for Leadership in the Americas, launched in January of 2009, which takes
the ideas of freedom to South and Central
America, and our Legal Studies Institute, which
teaches the original meaning of the Constitution to first year law students.
Today we have six Institutes here in the U.S.
and six overseas, plus we hold conferences,
alumni events, and seminars. More such activi-

FOR LEADERSHIP
Building Future Leaders
The document you hold in your hands is
about dreams – about dreams coming true and
dreams of things to come.
The greatest dream of the leadership of The
Fund for American Studies is that we should
reach every student with the ideas of freedom.
President
Roger R. Ream
COR NERSTONE
ties are on the horizon when both time and
money permit.
And perhaps most excitingly, new technologies in the Center will enable us to offer online
courses – direct from our new state-of-the-art
classroom – to students who cannot attend our
programs in person. This gives us the capacity
to reach additional thousands of students we
couldn’t reach in classrooms.
For our loyal supporters, the new Center for
Teaching Freedom provides numerous giving
and naming opportunities that will help us continue to grow and reach students. Our “Building
Future Leaders” campaign also seeks to secure
funds for scholarships and professorships so
that we can sustain academic excellence.
And of course, we continue to dream. We dream
of reaching more aspiring journalists with the
fundamentals of free-market economics and the
standards of objectivity so often lacking in the
news media.
We dream of teaching more students about the
ideas of Madison, Tocqueville, Hayek, Friedman,
and other great thinkers whose words are seldom studied in colleges and universities today.
And we dream of doubling and tripling the
number of our graduates who work on congressional staffs and in key positions in public
policy and international affairs.
The necessity of The Fund’s work is confirmed
by the news we see coming from Washington
every single day. It is about another type of
dream, a nightmare. That nightmare is of the
federal government taking control over our
nation’s financial institutions, spending and
borrowing record amounts of money, and even
offering to guarantee warranties issued by
Chrysler and GM.
In the words of Mark Levin, a Fund alumnus,
radio talk show host, and author of the bestselling book Liberty and Tyranny, the federal
government has become “the nation’s largest
creditor, debtor, lender, employer, consumer,
contractor, grantor, property owner, tenant,
insurer, health-care provider, and pension
guarantor.”
Clearly, America faces a choice – as it always
has – between two philosophies of government.
One is of a government of virtually limitless
power. The other, a government which, in
Thomas Jefferson’s words, is “bound down by
the chains of the Constitution.”
Our generation has made the choice. Liberty has yielded and government has gained
ground.
In just a few years, the rising generation will
have the opportunity to make its choice on this
fundamental question.
Will they have the knowledge they need to
make an informed decision?
You and I must rise to the challenge. We must
meet our obligation to teach the next generation about the ideas that have held our civilization together, have maintained what peace we
have enjoyed, and have created a prosperity
unsurpassed in human history.
It’s been said that no cause is ever wholly lost,
because no cause is ever wholly won. Let us
join together today to restore our inheritance
of freedom and pass it along to tomorrow’s
generation of leaders.
Thank you for your support. We hope that once
you finish reviewing this document you will be
inspired to continue helping make our dreams
of Building Future Leaders a reality.

The greatest success of The Fund for American
Studies is its impact on young people. Many of them
hear ideas of freedom and limited government for the first
time.... Nothing is more important than investing in our ideas
better job of that than The Fund for American Studies.
FOR TEACHING FREEDOM
BUILDING
FUTURE
LEADERS
In 2008, The Fund entered a
new chapter in its history when
it launched the Building Future
Leaders campaign. This multi-year
endeavor is The Fund’s first major
fundraising campaign in more than
30 years.
~Trustee Fred Barnes
FOX News and The Weekly Standard
The Building Future Leaders campaign couldn’t be undertaken at
a more critically important time. The Founding Fathers’ ideas of
limited government, the rule of law, and the protection of private
property are being threatened as never before. Capitalism is being
attacked, not only by the politicians in Washington but by businesspeople themselves. And college students are graduating without encountering the great thinkers and great ideas of western civilization.
The Building Future Leaders campaign will raise funds for the new
Center for Teaching Freedom and will enable The Fund to achieve
the following goals:
• Increase student enrollment and develop new programs
• Enhance scholarship support
• Secure outstanding faculty and endow professorships
• Expand alumni education and other talent development programs
• Broadcast distance learning classes and lectures to reach more
students at a lower cost.
The success of the campaign will depend on a broad base of support from foundations, corporations, alumni, and other individuals
committed to teaching the ideas of freedom to the next generation
of leaders.

U.S. PROGRAMS
The Fund for American Studies sponsors six
Institutes in Washington, D.C. that teach
college students about the principles and values
upon which the United States was founded.
Each Institute offers students a comprehensive
education that includes unique academic
courses for credit, internships and professional
development opportunities. The ultimate objective is to develop talented young people who
are committed to America’s founding principles
and will become the journalists, policymakers
and influential leaders of tomorrow.

The oldest of The Fund’s programs, the Engalitcheff Institute on Comparative Political
and Economic Systems has been building future leaders since 1970. This rigorous
program is intended for students pursuing careers in government, public policy or
international affairs.
In 2008, Dr. Thomas Rustici of George Mason University taught Comparative Economic
Systems, replacing Dr. George Viksnins, who retired after teaching the course for 34
years. New to the curriculum in 2008 was an international affairs course taught by Dr.
Gary Armstrong (E 84) of William Jewell College.

Outside of the classroom, ICPES students attended exclusive briefings at the White
House, on Capitol Hill, at the U.S. Department of State and at the Federal Reserve. They
also visited CIA headquarters and embassies throughout D.C. Small groups of students
were invited to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in addition to the Peace
Corps, the Federalist Society and several congressional offices.

The quality of public discourse in a free society depends on the accuracy of information provided by the news media. In 1985, the Institute on Political Journalism was
established to help create a new generation of journalists who understand free markets
and ethical journalism.
IPJ students hold internships with print, broadcast and online media organizations
and study economics and media ethics. Site visits and topical lectures supplement
their coursework. In 2008, students heard from speakers including Trustee Fred Barnes
of FOX News and several alumni journalists: Nikole Killion (J 97) of Hearst Argyle
Television, Karen Travers (J 99) of ABC News and Mark Johnson (J 86, E 87) of the
Charlotte Observer. Students also attended live broadcasts of NPR’s Talk of the Nation at
the Newseum, Meet the Press, FOX News and ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption.

Since 1990, students participating in the Institute on Business and Government Affairs
have studied the interplay between businesses and government, examining regulatory
policy and other attempts by government to intervene in the economic system.
In the classroom, students study tax policy and the history of business and government
relations. Internship sites include the government affairs offices of major corporations,
trade associations and lobbying firms.
In 2008, IBGA students attended the annual Congressional Scholarship Award Dinner
with Senators Ken Salazar (Colo.), Saxby Chambliss (Ga.), Mark Pryor (Ark.) and Ben
Nelson (Neb.) as well as Rep. John Salazar (Colo.). The event serves as a fundraiser that
supports scholarships for Institute students.
At evening panel discussions, students met with representatives from many businesses
and trade associations, including Lockheed Martin, NASDAQ and the American
Petroleum Institute.

Since its inception in 1999, students participating in the Institute on Philanthropy and
Voluntary Service spend eight weeks learning about the nonprofit sector and how it is
often more effective in solving community problems than government spending and
regulation. The Institute works to reinforce a sense of individual responsibility and
cultivates an appreciation for the primacy of private philanthropy.
IPVS students hold internships at charitable organizations. They experience the
nonprofit world firsthand by managing a class grant-making project. In 2008, students
raised $2,225, which they awarded to two local charities selected through a competitive proposal process. IPVS students assisted the community by coordinating service
events, including a “Literacy Field Day” on Georgetown University’s campus and a
hunger banquet.
Participants in the Institute gained inspiration at forums with leaders in the nonprofit
sector, including John Bridgeland, CEO of Civic Enterprises, and Russell Klein of
International Relief and Development. Robert Egger, founder of DC Central Kitchen,
provided inspiring remarks after accepting the David R. Jones Leadership in
Philanthropy Award. Alumni working in the nonprofit sector participated in panel
discussions, including Gwen Fernandez (P 05) of the Supreme Court Office of Public
Education, Megan Hoot (P 02) of Independent Sector, and Crickett Nicovich (P 04) of
RESULTS Educational Fund.

To offer year-round educational opportunities for
college students, TFAS launched the Capital Semester
program in 2003. The program runs in both the fall and
spring for 15 weeks. CS students learn about the
American political tradition and free-market principles
while living on Capitol Hill.
Through internships at legislative and executive branch
offices, charities and think tanks, students gain firsthand knowledge of how public policy is made.
Exclusive briefings at key government institutions supplement their experience. In 2008, students met with
officials at the Pentagon, White House, U.S. Department
of State, Federal Reserve, Congress and the Embassy
of Columbia.
Each week, students attended a lecture given by a
professional in the public policy arena. Speakers in
2008 included Julie Mason, White House correspondent
for the Houston Chronicle; Jennifer Pollom of the Senate
Budget Committee; and David Kelly, founder and senior
fellow of the Atlas Society.

In an effort to reach more aspiring journalists with the
lessons of free-market economics and limited government, TFAS now welcomes a group of budding reporters to D.C. for its new journalism track of the Capital
Semester program.
Capital Semester on Political Journalism provides
college students with hands-on experience in the media
through internships and coursework. CSPJ students
gain a solid understanding of free-market economics,
the Constitution and public policy issues.
Through a weekly guest lecture series, students come
face to face with experienced journalists. Among those
who addressed students in 2008 were National Politics
Editor Charles Mahtesian of Politico; Pentagon Reporter
Tom Vanden Brook of USA Today; and Senior Writer
Katherine Skiba of U.S. News & World Report.
Several students achieved notable accomplishments:
one met and helped facilitate a private interview with
Dr. Condoleezza Rice and another was offered a position with Politics magazine.
Students also attended a Healthcare Roundtable led by
Michael Keegan of the National Association of Health
Underwriters. Rep. Mike Ferguson (N.J.) (E 90) spoke to
Capital Semester students at the closing ceremony in
the fall, where he was awarded the 2008 TFAS Alumni
Achievement Award.

TFAS internships provide students with a firsthand look at the
workings of the U.S. economic and political systems, the world
of Washington journalism, corporate government relations and the
nonprofit sector. Students intern for approximately 30 hours per
week. They are matched with an internship from among the many
organizations with which TFAS has built relationships.

In addition to summer and semester
Institutes, The Fund for American Studies
hosts a series of regional journalism
conferences. These events teach young,
aspiring journalists about the core values of
honest reporting and provide rare networking opportunities. In 2008, 150 students
from 56 colleges attended “The Press,

When the Berlin Wall fell, TFAS began making it a priority
to provide scholarships to university students from Central
and Eastern Europe to attend its programs in Washington.
The number of students seeking these scholarships became so great that TFAS established its first international
Institute in Prague in 1993. TFAS has since added four
others, with the goal of bringing the principles of freedom
to future leaders all over the world.

Established in 1993, the American Institute on Political
and Economic Systems is the longest-running international program and largest TFAS Institute. The curriculum engages students in a thorough examination of
fundamental political and economic concepts, using the
American model as its focus.
In the economics component of AIPES, students explore
the advantages and functions of the market economy. In
the politics component, they examine the historical roots
of the U.S. Constitution and study how the document
has succeeded or failed to secure ordered liberty under
the rule of law. The course draws lessons from this experience and applies them to other forms of government,
including parliamentary systems.
In 2008, students took part in a legislative simulation,
which allowed them to apply the concepts they learned
in class. They also heard from experts on diplomatic etiquette and the economic history of the Czech Republic.
José María Aznar, former prime minister of Spain, gave
the commencement address and received the 2008 Vašek
and Anna Maria Polák Award. Aznar is the first Western
European leader to receive the award, which has been
administered since 1995. In his address, Aznar discussed
the U.S.-European relationship and shared his thoughts
on America and Europe after President George W. Bush.
Outside of the classroom, students were invited to the
home of U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic
Richard W. Graber for a reception.

Each summer, the International Institute for Political
and Economic Studies, established in 1996, brings together students from varying faiths and backgrounds to
the island of Crete in Greece. Professors from leading
U.S. universities introduce students to new perspectives
in political economy, history, philosophy and conflict
management. Students explore and debate the ideas of
philosophers such as Plato, Tocqueville, Jefferson and
Adam Smith. Many IIPES alumni have gone on to work
within their communities to bring peace and freedom
to the Middle East and the Balkans.
In 2008, students attended a panel session with alumna
Irena Radovic (I 99) and other diplomats focusing on
the prospects for prosperity in South Eastern Europe
and the Middle East. Radovic is deputy minister for
bilateral relations in the Montenegro Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
Small groups comprised of students from all 22 countries represented at IIPES presented skits to help foster
an understanding of the different cultures in the region.
In the economics class, students engaged in hands-on
exercises that demonstrate fundamental economic
concepts, including spontaneous order, property rights
and trade and comparative advantage. In the conflict
management component, students learned about the
root causes of discord. They actively participated in
interactive simulations based on successful models of
conflict resolution.

Dr. John S. Baker, Jr. of the Louisiana State University law school joined returning
faculty member Dr. Andrew Morriss. In Baker’s course, students explored the basic
structure of separation of powers, federalism and republicanism as developed in The
Federalist Papers and the U.S. Constitution.
In his economics course, Morriss introduced the ideas of leading free-market economists such as Freidrich A. Hayek and Hernando de Soto. He also applied economic
games and experiments to his lectures, introducing his students to concepts such as
property rights, the price system and comparative advantage.
Of the many noteworthy speakers, James Thompson gave a memorable presentation
during the closing ceremony. Thompson chronicled his journey from being a young
man with little money to his founding of Crown Worldwide Group of Companies.
In addition, Yuen-ying Chan, director of the Journalism and Media Studies Centre at

Latin America is experiencing an alarming resurgence of Marxist ideology. Tyrants
like Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez are attempting to set up Cuban-style dictatorships. The
United States is blasted as the great enemy while economic and political freedom is
dismissed. If not checked, this could eventually destabilize the entire hemisphere.
In response to this threat, TFAS established the Institute for Leadership in the
Americas in 2008. In conjunction with ESEADE, Superior School of Economics and
Business Management, TFAS held its inaugural seminar in the historic capital city of
Buenos Aires, Argentina. ILA gathered students from 13 Latin American countries to
study the foundations of a free society and the principles of prosperity that are inherent in free markets. The program encouraged the students to develop their leadership
skills and to apply these concepts to institutions in their home countries.
The 2008 ILA faculty included economists Dr. Martin Krause, Dr. Alejandra Salina
and Dr. Mario Villarreal. Outside of the classroom, students were featured guests on a
national television program on Argentine politics. This program served as a precursor
to a longer program held in Santiago, Chile in 2009.

The fifth annual European
Journalism Institute brought
young journalists to Prague for
a one-week seminar. Journalism students and early-career
journalists from across Europe
learned how to accurately
report on news stories dealing
with business, the economy
and fiscal policies. The faculty
focused on the structure and
functions of market economics in the context of issues
such as competition, the role
of government, environmental
regulation, health and welfare,
globalization and international
trade.
Participants attended a session called “The Role of Public
Media” with Jiří Balvín, general
manager of the Czech music
television station TV Óčko.
They also attended panel discussions, including “Challenges
of Energy Policy” and “Czech
Economic Transition.”

Journalists from around the
world gathered in Athens,
Greece for the third EuroMediterranean Journalism
Institute. The nine-day conference aims to empower young
journalists with the knowledge
needed to report objectively on
international politics and economic and cultural issues.
In 2008, participants were
briefed by leaders of the Foreign Correspondents Association in Greece. They heard from
President Dimitris Sioufas of
the Hellenic Parliament and
visited the studios of the Hellenic Broadcast Corporation,
ERT. Discussion topics ranged
from the obstacles faced in free
and unfree societies to the role
of images in the media.
TFAS works in partnership
with the Greek Association for
Atlantic and European Cooperation to organize this event.

ALUMNI PROGRAMS
The best evidence of the value of TFAS is the accomplishments of its alumni. Thousands have gone on to hold
positions of leadership in business, journalism, academia,
philanthropy, public service and international affairs. Over
10,500 alumni are changing the world in numerous ways.
Each year more than 200 alumni and friends volunteer
to serve as mentors to students attending TFAS internship programs in Washington, D.C. In 2008, more than
80 alumni offered career advice and provided general
guidance as the students made their way through the
intense summer and semester programs.
Freedom Scholars
This program was developed in 2007 to leverage the impact of TFAS programs
through young alumni who are committed to the ideals of free markets and
limited government and who work in the public policy arena. The program is
a yearlong educational fellowship comprised of networking events, academic
discussions and professional development sessions all aimed at further developing these young leaders.
These 12 recent alumni receive scholarships to return to
Washington in April for The Fund’s Annual Conference.
They attend sessions on leadership values, personal
finance and business ethics.
Forty-three alumni are members of this national board. The Alumni Council
meets twice a year and offers advice and support for alumni activities, including the alumni awards program and chapter activities. The council is comprised of U.S. chapter presidents and at-large members. Council officers are
Chairman Dan McConchie (J 93, A 95), Vice Chairwoman of Membership Megan Hoot (P 02), Vice Chairman of Governance Ken Klatt (E 70), Vice Chairman
of Alumni Activities John Sweda (E 97) and Vice Chairwoman of Communications Desiree Westby (B 02).
Mentoring Program
Regional alumni chapters allow TFAS graduates to stay
involved after completing a program. With 15 chapters
across the U.S. and 13 international chapters, alumni
are part of a valuable professional network spanning
the globe.

way that alumni give back to TFAS. In 2008, more than
100 Alumni Ambassadors volunteered to serve as references and to contact prospective students who were
considering enrollment in a TFAS program.
Alumni Internship Supervisors &
Guest Speakers
Each year, TFAS alumni share their personal and professional time and resources during the spring, summer
and fall programs, volunteering to serve as speakers on
panels in classes or at events such as Career Day. Many
also serve as internship supervisors for Fund students.
In 2008, nearly 25 alumni spoke to students and over 20
