ISI’s motto is “to educate for liberty.” Sadly, the academy today is highly politicized terrain. Various ideologies are substituted for real scholarship. Intellectual conformity to these ideologies is valued over the commitment to standards of excellence and intellectual rigor in the pursuit of the truth. Instead of engaging the Western intellectual tradition, more often than not that tradition is vilified.

ISI’s role is to provide a corrective to this trend. Perhaps the most effective way we go about this is through our Campus Representative program. With the cooperation of ISI’s Campus Representatives or Faculty Associates, ISI seeks to focus discussion on the permanent things that sustain a free society.

Campus Representatives and Faculty Associates also play a vital role in introducing interested students and faculty to ISI, its programs, and its publications. As a Campus Representative or Faculty Associate, you will receive free books and publications, advance notice of events, invitations to conferences, and individualized attention by ISI staff. The staff will also provide you with practical education and intellectual and often financial support as you work to enrich your campus with ISI programs. If you are interested in becoming an ISI Campus Representative or Faculty associate, please email programs@isi.org.
