At the Hamilton Lugar School, we seek to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and passion to understand the world and to make a positive difference. Our research, teaching, and public engagement focus on thinking critically about international affairs and specific world regions. We emphasize curiosity and open-mindedness, fact-based analysis, and the empathy that comes with understanding multiple languages, cultures, and perspectives. Our students learn to engage with research thoughtfully, to collaborate, to communicate well, and to interact ethically and effectively with varied global audiences. We also prioritize a strong sense of belonging and a community in which everyone is valued, heard, and respected. With these values and competencies, Hamilton Lugar graduates are prepared to thrive personally and professionally and to lead positive change, in Indiana and in our rapidly changing world.
