New Programs

New programs incorporated into the endowment goals of the Founders Campaign include the Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C. The Center, located on Capitol Hill, focuses on the long-term goal of reestablishing, through education, the fundamental conditions of limited government constitutionalism. Its activities include:

  • Teaching Hillsdale students who are in Washington, D.C. as interns or on fellowships.
  • Offering seminars on American history, the Constitution, free market economics and other topics to interested citizens on Capitol Hill and in the greater Washington area.
  • Offering Constitution 101, an online course available at thekirbycenter.org
  • Publishing a book of 113 primary source documents, The U.S. Constitution: A Reader, available on HillsdaleUSConstitution.com.

The Hillsdale Graduate School of Statesmanship, to be located on the Hillsdale campus, will offer a Master of Arts and a Ph.D. in politics, with an emphasis on American political thought, American institutions, and public policy.

The Washington-Hillsdale Internship Program (WHIP) is open to all Hillsdale students who wish to gain practical political experience by interning in congressional offices, government agencies, or public policy centers in the nation's capital. Raising funds for WHIP scholarships is an additional goal of the Campaign. 

With your support for the Founders Campaign, Hillsdale will continue to “develop the minds and improve the hearts” of its students, while at the same time expanding its important outreach programs at this critical time in America's history.
