Service in Intellectual and Political Life

It’s wonderful to read about the extraordinary representation of Princetonians in leadership roles at leading think tanks. And there’s more. To the five distinguished leaders profiled in “Shedding Light” we can add a sixth, Ryan T. Anderson ’04, president of the influential Washington, D.C.-based Ethics and Public Policy Center. Think tanks, be they conservative, progressive, or nonpartisan, today play an important role in American intellectual and political life. Such a strong representation of Princetonians in leadership positions in the most influential think tanks is good evidence that our University remains “in the Nation's service.”
