The Hertog alumni network has grown to include a diverse group of over 1,400 emerging leaders from the U.S. and abroad. Hertog alumni remain active and engaged with the Foundation, as well as connected with each other. Each year, alumni return to participate in our summer programming or receive invitations to attend special invitation-only seminars for young professionals. Past seminars topics include American political thought, the Iraq War, and statesmanship in the 20th century.

War Studies alumni have the opportunity to participate in Advanced War Studies Courses. These sessions are offered in the winter and summer, and focus either on a national security challenge or on a historical conflict.
