Mershon Center for International Security Studies

Conflict, peace and resilience: these foundational themes are critical to the safety of populations worldwide.
At the Mershon Center for International Security Studies, we are dedicated to understanding how social, political, behavioral and scientific issues intersect and impact security on a global scale. By elevating innovative research and fostering informed dialogue, our staff, faculty and students advance interdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration on issues that influence the survival and prosperity of nations.
Your generous contribution to the Mershon Center will enable us to enhance research, study abroad programs, scholarly events, and community outreach.
