The Cisneros Institute draws on the intellectual strength of the George Washington University and the resources of the nation’s capital to cultivate citizen scholars and innovative research. Research produced by the Institute examines current issues facing our country to encourage the use of empirical perspectives in national dialogue and decision-making, while the Institute’s robust curriculum in leadership and professional development prepares scholars to make a difference as leaders for their communities.
