KEEP READINGMeet the Summer Institute Class of 2014
On July 21, the USC Center on Public Diplomacy will kick off its 2014 Summer Institute in Public Diplomacy.
Now in its ninth year, the CPD Summer Institute in Public Diplomacy is an intensive two-week program designed to immerse mid-career participants in the critical study of public diplomacy by combining traditional classroom instruction with collaborative hands-on exercises.
We are very excited about this year’s program. We have enhanced the curriculum in the areas of public diplomacy leadership, digital diplomacy, and the role of big data and micro-data in the practice and analysis of public diplomacy. The Summer Institute continues to reflect CPD’s global vision and our commitment to bridging research and practice.
