The Project on International Peace and Security

PIPS is an undergraduate think tank at William & Mary's Global Research Institute Project Co-Directors: Profs. Amy Oakes and Dennis Velazco Smith

The Project on International Peace and Security (PIPS) is an undergraduate security-focused think tank founded at William & Mary in 2008. Based at the university's Global Research Institute, PIPS is designed to bridge the gap between the academic and foreign policy communities in the area of undergraduate education. PIPS research fellows identify emerging international security issues and develop

original policy recommendations to address those challenges. Undergraduate fellows have the chance to work with practitioners in the military and intelligence communities, and they present their work to policy analysts and officials at a variety of organizations in Washington, D.C.
