The Journal of International Affairs invites students of Columbia University to contribute an analytical piece of 2,000-4,000 words for publication in the forthcoming print issue. Andrew Wellington Cordier became the dean of the School of International Affairs (as it was then known) in 1962 following a distinguished career at the U.S. Department of State and the United Nations. From 1969−1970, he served as president of Columbia University.
The Andrew Wellington Cordier contest is open to all currently enrolled Columbia University students. The selected piece will be featured both in the print version and on JIA’s website.
