at Garrett Hall for Batten Hour on September 11. </figcaption></figure><!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/filter-caption.html.twig' --><p><span><span>When crisis hits, staying calm and delivering the right message for the moment are the hallmarks of leadership, former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore told a packed room today in Garrett Hall. He reflected on his experience as governor on September 11, 2001, when terrorists attacked the U.S., including flying a plane into the Pentagon in Arlington County. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>On that day, he immediately set into motion emergency response protocols at the state and local levels, and then went to the Pentagon. He knew his presence at the site would send a message of resilience for the public. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>Gilmore, who graduated from UVA with a bachelor’s degree and a law degree, was on Grounds Monday to teach a class and give a talk hosted by the National Security Policy Center at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>With Dean Ian Solomon posing a range of questions, Gilmore reflected on the preparedness of the U.S. for potential future attacks, the rise of authoritarianism globally and the war in Ukraine, which he sees as pivotal in global relations in the years to come. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>Authoritarians have a vision of what the world should be, he said, and they use force to achieve it, but their main problem is the U.S. and its role as the model of democracy. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>“The desire for freedom and liberty that so exemplifies the U.S. is in the hearts of everyone, and if we adhere to those values, then we will win.” </span></span></p> <p><span><span>He also talked about the notion of public service and the duty of citizenship in the U.S., which he believes have declined over several decades. “Americans right now are an audience for Fox News, MSNBC, or CNN and other cable companies,” he said, urging people to move from audience to actors by seizing opportunities to be engaged in their communities. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>To the Batten students in attendance at today’s event, Gilmore went further. “You seem to be deciding to be a leader, that’s why you’re here at Batten, so it’s more than just an opportunity to engage, it’s a duty to lead” and strengthen democracy here and around the world.</span></span><br />  </p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

Chance Saltzman promoted the newly created U.S. Space Force and discussed the qualities of leadership to a gathering of University of Virginia students and ROTC cadets on Saturday, November 12.</p> <p>Saltzman, the chief of space operations for the Space Force, addressed the students at the invitation of the National Security Policy Center at UVA’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. Saltzman, who had been in the job about 10 days when he visited Grounds, encouraged the students to consider the Space Force for military and civilian posts.</p> <p>The Space Force was established in 2019 as the first new branch of U.S. Armed Services in 73 years. Saltzman said that having a presence in space is a national security imperative.</p> <p>He said people need to recognize the importance of satellites in their lives, from global positioning systems and television transmission to weather monitoring and internet banking. He said China and Russia have strategic capabilities to disrupt satellites.</p> <p>“These are real operational capabilities they demonstrate for everybody to see,” he said. “Their intent, if you read their documents, is very literal, and their goal is to destroy U.S. strategic advantage in space by destroying the satellites.”</p> <p>Saltzman, who spoke at a breakfast gathering at Garrett Hall, said public service in the military or national security is “one of the most fabulous callings” a citizen can have.</p> <p>“A calling is an attraction to work for the benefit of others, something larger than yourself, beyond self-interest. It is hard work, and you don’t always get compensated or rewarded for it to the level it deserves,” he said. “You still have to be good at it. Leadership is so important in managing public service.”</p> <p>Saltzman said the military can present difficult choices between the job and personal life, and advised cadets to seek a balance.</p> <p>“You have to know your values in order to make these decisions,” he said. “Sometimes the choice is to leave work for a home event, sometimes it’s the opposite, but as long as you are making these decisions in line with your values you will always make the right choice.”</p> <p>He said there is a lot of pressure to get things done and take the path of least resistance, but it is important to do things right.</p> <p>“We won’t have time to come back and do this again, so we can’t just ‘get it done.’ We have to get it right,” he said. “I think it takes character to always be reminding yourself about those things.”</p> <p>He said doing things right requires an element of courage to call out incorrect policies and put your reputation on the line. He told the students that to lead, they need to have connections with others.</p> <p>“Leadership is a complicated human endeavor,” Saltzman said. “It takes social skills that none of us will master in a lifetime of pursuit. Leadership is about motivation, which is an inherent social skill, but if you can’t connect with somebody, it is almost impossible to motivate them.”</p> <p>Saltzman said having a sincere connection with people can bring diverse perspectives to an issue.</p> <p>“It takes a lot of factors to make a decision correctly and sometimes that key factor is the one thing I don’t know,” Saltzman said. “Have I connected well enough that people feel comfortable to bring me the perspectives I need so the decision can be made as well as it can be?”</p> <p>Leadership, Saltzman said, also requires a commitment to see the project through to the end. That means showing up every day with the right attitude.</p> <p>“It takes a special kind of person, and that is why I say that public service is a calling,” Saltzman said.</p> <p>In response to student questions, Saltzman said the Space Force relies on civilian personnel for expertise. It can take years to bring people up through the ranks, but he said experts can be hired from the private sector. Civilian employees tend to stay in jobs longer, develop institutional memories and can bring new perspectives.</p> <p>“The value I get out of listening to young people is that you don’t bring baggage,” he said. “There was no way I could get 28 years of Air Force out of my head when I took over as chief operations officer.”</p> <p>Saltzman said the Space Force is a young operation that needs to be built up.</p> <p>“We need to recognize we are a start-up company. Literally. We are 2 1/2 years into this endeavor, and we haven’t figured it all out yet,” he said. “I need everybody thinking ‘what can we do better next time?’ Critical thinking will be important.”</p></div>

Vladimir Putin make good on his threat to use “all the powers and means at our disposal” to defend Russia against Ukraine. Russia holds the world’s largest nuclear arsenal.</p> <p>The last, and only, time the world witnessed a nuclear attack was when the U.S. dropped a pair of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in 1945, killing an estimated 214,000 people.</p> <p>“We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis,” Biden said Thursday. “I don’t think there’s any such thing as the ability to easily use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon.”</p> <p>Todd Sechser is the Pamela Feinour Edmonds and Franklin S. Edmonds Jr. Discovery Professor of Politics and Public Policy at the University of Virginia. He is also a senior fellow at the Miller Center, and co-author of the book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1107514517"><strong>Nuclear Weapons and Coercive Diplomacy</strong></a>.”</p> <p>UVA Today turned to<strong> </strong>Sechser for his expert take on the events in Ukraine.</p> <p><strong>Q. What has Russia threatened to do?</strong></p> <p>A. It’s worth pointing out that Vladimir Putin has not explicitly stated whether or when Russia will use nuclear weapons. In fact, he hasn’t used the term “nuclear weapons” at all when talking about Russia’s actions. Instead, he has used phrases like “all the forces and means at our disposal” and “consequences that you have never encountered in your history.”</p> <p>This is typically how leaders make nuclear threats: They do it obliquely. This is important because it leaves Putin just a little bit of wiggle room. If he doesn’t use nuclear weapons, he can save a little bit of face since he did not explicitly say that he would use them.</p> <p>At the same time, there is no doubt what Putin wants the world to think when he uses phrases like “all the forces and means at our disposal.” He is hoping that the specter of nuclear conflict will intimidate Ukraine and the West into being more cautious.</p> <p><strong> Q. Do nuclear threats work?</strong></p> <p>A. Nuclear weapons are useful for some things and not others.</p> <p>On one hand, nuclear threats seem to be useful for self-defense – for preventing aggression. Before the nuclear age, territorial aggression was quite common, and the world’s great powers routinely fought bloody wars against one another. But nuclear weapons have changed that equilibrium. Anyone contemplating invading a nuclear-armed country would have no doubt that such an attack would be met with a nuclear response.</p> <p>But things get trickier when leaders try to use nuclear threats to engage in aggression. Leaders have certainly tried to use them this way. The Soviets, for example, tried to use nuclear threats to change the status quo in East Berlin in the 1950s and 1960s. Nixon used a nuclear alert in a failed gambit to bully his way to a favorable settlement in Vietnam in 1969. And India and Pakistan have attempted nuclear coercion from time to time as well. But the record here is much spottier: By and large, these threats have not worked.</p> <p><strong>Q. Has Putin’s oblique threat netted any concessions?</strong></p> <p>A. It is notable that Russia’s repeated nuclear threats have not managed to extract any meaningful concessions from Ukraine, the United States or Europe. If anything, they have worsened Russia’s international isolation. But this fits the historical pattern: Nuclear threats are credible tools of self-defense, not aggression. Leaders sometimes have a misconception that nuclear threats are a dial they can turn up and down until they get what they want. But over and over, leaders from Nikita Khrushchev to Donald Trump have discovered that it isn’t so simple. Nuclear weapons are not a magic wand.</p> <p><strong>Q. What might the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine look like?</strong></p> <p>A. The explosive magnitude of nuclear weapons is measured in kilotons – thousands of tons – or even megatons – millions of tons – of TNT. On this spectrum, nuclear weapons can range widely. At one end are “strategic” nuclear weapons like Russia’s Topol-M ballistic missile, which carries a warhead with an explosive yield of perhaps 500 kilotons. The largest warhead in the U.S. nuclear arsenal, the B83, has a yield of 1.2 megatons.</p> <p>At the other end are shorter-range nuclear systems, sometimes called “tactical” or “battlefield” nuclear weapons, which generally have explosive yields of a few dozen kilotons or less. These are the weapons that Putin would be most likely to use in Ukraine. But even a few kilotons are still incredibly powerful by any measure: The atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945 was about 15 kilotons.</p> <p><strong>Q. Are there considerations beyond the size of the weapon?</strong></p> <p>A. The more important question is not the size of the weapon, but the target. A lower-yield weapon detonated in a city could still cause tens of thousands of casualties; a massive nuclear warhead targeted at a remote underground bunker would cause comparatively few casualties.</p> <p>Russia could attack Ukrainian leadership targets, military targets, or even conduct a so-called “demonstration” strike over an uninhabited area. Worst of all, it could attack a Ukrainian city with a nuclear weapon, hoping to cause widespread terror and coerce Ukraine into surrendering.</p> <p><strong>Q. Would using nuclear weapons help Russia?</strong></p> <p>A. Using nuclear weapons is not going to give Russia a magic escape route from this war. Attacking a city with nuclear weapons would be a horrifying and barbaric act that would permanently transform Russia into an isolated pariah state. It is worth remembering that nuclear weapons have not been used since 1945. Although Putin would like us to believe otherwise, there is a strong precedent today against using nuclear weapons – some scholars have even called it a “nuclear taboo.”</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 cta-wrapper"> <!-- THEME DEBUG

(Contributed photos)</em></figcaption></figure><!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/filter-caption.html.twig' --><p>A month after Russia’s war on Ukraine started, there are many ways it could expand.</p> <p>Two professors whose research involves national defense and foreign affairs discussed on Monday the implications for escalation in the conflict in a livestreamed webinar from the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs. Philip Potter is an associate professor of politics and public policy at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and the Director of the National Security Policy Center, and Allan C. Stam is a University Professor of public policy and politics at the Batten School and a Faculty Senior Fellow at the Miller Center. William J. Antholis, the Miller Center’s director and chief executive officer, moderated the discussion.</p> <p>Stam opened by noting that nothing has gone as planned or expected for the Russians – or the United States, which does not have large business or demographic interests in Ukraine.</p> <p>“Ukraine is not a member of NATO, and at the same time, the United States has a great interest in broader European stability,” Stam said. “And by that I mean not tolerating independent states or countries invading their neighbors. It is a terrible precedent, both for trying to manage and maintain stability in the international system and … from a human rights or a civilian population perspective.”</p> <p>While Potter agreed, he noted that U.S interests, and the perception of U.S. interests, are “evolving.”</p> <p>“Alliances are playing a larger role here than people anticipated in the front end,” Potter said, noting that scholars would have predicted the Ukraine conflict to be a stress point on the NATO alliance. “Instead, we see very much the opposite. A coalescing of alliance relationships, and that puts a bunch of things on the table in terms of is this an opportunity for alliance deepening and expansion – and is that in U.S. interest, or is that a potential risk of the sort that got us into this situation to begin with?”</p> <p>Potter said the fight was going poorly for the Russians. With Russia “on the ropes,” he said, the U.S. has to determine if it wants to extract what it can from the situation, or whether the national interest dictates that the U.S. reduce pressure on Russia. He suggested the correct answer is in the middle.</p> <p>“You want to be very careful about moving Russia into a situation of true desperation,” he said. “At the same time, I think there are going to be pressures on the administration to perhaps go further than it should in pursuit of those interests.” </p> <p>Stam and Potter agreed that Russia could draw NATO into the conflict, and both were concerned that Russia may resort to tactical nuclear weapons, or chemical and biological weapons. Potter noted that if NATO felt like it was being drawn in, its members might push Ukraine toward the bargaining table.</p> <p>“I don’t worry too much about the small escalation designed to draw NATO in,” Potter said. “At this point, if Putin drew NATO in, the only way to survive and get back out would be to go into a much more escalatory and potentially nuclear type of situation. The strategic logic to me of having Putin tempt us in is not a compelling one.”</p> <p>He said instead of drawing NATO in, the Russians may try to practice a level of brinksmanship to get NATO to back down – but may miscalculate.</p> <p>Stam argued that while Russia targeting civilian populations was part of its military doctrine, it did not play well in public opinion.</p> <p>“Partly, I think, this has to do with the rise of social media and the availability of these images, but the political pressure here on NATO country leaders and on President Joe Biden will increase dramatically if we see really large-scale attacks on civilians in places like Kiev and other Ukrainian cities,” Stam said.</p> <p>Potter dismissed this possibility, though, noting that while people have talked about the mobilizing effects of media on government action, there is not a lot of public appetite for war.</p> <p>“We haven’t seen public opinion numbers on this budge since the start of the conflict, and generally speaking, the public tires of these situations. They don’t warm to them,” Potter said. “The fact that we have gotten this far without change in public opinion leads me to think that the amount of [public] pressure is going to stagnate, especially for things that involved boots on the ground.”</p> <p>But Potter agreed this could change drastically if there were to be a large chemical or nuclear attack in Ukraine.</p> <p>Antholis, the moderator, raised the question of whether Putin could interpret outside bodies sending arms to Ukraine as escalation.</p> <p>Stam said that traditionally there has been a difference in targeting weapons versus targeting people, and he said, up to this point, Russia has not objected to NATO supplying the Ukrainians with weapons. Stam said the political pressure would increase if Americans ended up being killed while supplying Ukraine with weapons.</p> <p>“From an American perspective, that would be hugely problematic,” Stam said. “There are so many different pathways forward that increase the risk, it is hard to predict what may happen.”</p> <p>Potter agreed, saying he was growing more concerned about the Ukrainians moving the fight inside Russia – for instance, targeting Russian aircraft in Russian airspace, using U.S.-made weaponry.</p> <p>“I would argue that it would be a terrible choice for the Ukrainians as well, because currently there is a public opinion struggle going on inside Russia, and that would likely galvanize opinion,” Potter said.</p> <p>Potter also noted that the U.S. had been arming Ukraine for years, and thus sending missiles now would not seem like an escalation, but just a continuation of standard practices.</p> <p>He added that he thought Putin was immune from name-calling, such as Biden’s recent labelling of him as a “war criminal.”</p> <p>“I think [Putin] is playing a bigger game here, and from a personal/financial/reputational standpoint, financially he is fine, and reputationally I don’t think he cares what the Biden administration thinks he is. I don’t see any scenario where Russia is trying to get back to a status quo situation in terms of ‘if you turn these sanctions off, we will leave Ukraine and it will all be roses.’ I think we are way past that point.”</p> <p>On the question of a Ukrainian victory, Potter said he thought in some ways Ukraine had already won.</p> <p>“There has been this emergence of a Ukrainian identity and what I think will be permanent resistance to whatever Russian presence is there,” Potter said. “This conflict, like most conflicts, has made a fool out of anyone who is trying to predict what will happen, but I think the modal view here is that it will lock in place a significant Russian carve-out around the edges of Ukraine and some sort of pseudo-border going on there. And frankly, I would argue that is a Ukrainian victory. The fact that they still exist as an independent state with an independent political authority, and that political authority is going to lean ever more westward, is what victory looks like.”</p> <p>The conflict apparently has not yet involved any crippling cyberattacks against Ukraine.</p> <p>“To me, one of the most fascinating things about this conflict is that it is remarkably old school,” Potter said. “This should have been a conflict, if the planners game it out, it should have been all robots and cyber and space. And the dog that didn’t bark in terms of cyber conflict is one of the things I am going to be keeping an eye on as we start getting more information about what is going on.”</p> <p>He said a cyberattack in this case would be considered an escalation if it leads to the death of people. “As long as cyber stays cyber, I don’t think it will be considered an escalation,” Potter said. </p> <p>Stam said the U.S. may have misinterpreted Russian’s capability for cyberattacks, noting that Russia has other sophisticated weapon systems, but few working models.</p> <p>Finally, Antholis questioned where China fits in the Ukraine situation and how this affects its dispute with Taiwan.</p> <p>Potter noted that the mainland Chinese have historically been risk-averse, but have a growing economy and strong military. Potter does not believe that China’s leaders will provide strong support for Russia, though they may pay lip service and give some financial and military aid.</p> <p>Stam noted that the resistance Russia was getting from Ukraine, with which it shares a land border, may make the Chinese reluctant to move on Taiwan.</p> <p>“This essentially demonstrates the risks for the United States; while we have much greater interests in Taiwan than we do in Ukraine, it also reveals to the United States that sanctions may not be enough to have an actual impact on the decision-making or the anticipation of sanctions from a deterrent perspective. All this helps to further complicate the thinking about Taiwan and pushes that rock further down the road.”</p> <p>Potter said the Chinese were also taking notice that the NATO allies were working closer together, and suggested that might give China pause for advancing on Taiwan. </p> <p>Stam noted the U.S. and the Soviet Union had a long history of being in conflict, but not going to war with each other, and if the U.S. remained steadfast in its support of Ukraine, that may act as a deterrent against China in the case of Taiwan, which he said was the more long-term issue.</p> <p>Potter said the Ukraine situation would become protracted, with both sides trying not to lose, but he also agreed that the U.S. and Russia would ultimately be able to avoid direct conflict.</p></div> <!--

This is particularly the case when organizations face substantial repression from the state. As a consequence, for cooperation to emerge and persist when it is most valuable, militant groups must have means of committing to cooperation even when the incentives to defect are high. We posit that shared ideology plays this role by providing community monitoring, authority structures, trust, and transnational networks. We test this theory using new, expansive, time-series data on relationships between militant organizations from 1950 to 2016, which we introduce here. We find that when groups share an ideology, and especially a religion, they are more likely to sustain material cooperation in the face of state repression. These findings contextualize and expand upon research demonstrating that connections between violent nonstate actors strongly shape their tactical and strategic behavior.</p></div> </div> <!-- END

Events on 9/11 set the world’s security agenda for the following two decades. As we open a new era, what are the challenges that will define the next 20 years and how can international partnerships confront them?<br /><br /> The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Foundation and the National Security Policy Center at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy will host a series of public conversations examining the future of security cooperation in an era of transformational technological change on October 5th and 6th, 2021.<br /><br /> The purpose of these discussions is to examine and reconsider today’s priorities to tackle tomorrow’s security challenges. The event will include meetings among security experts including former government officials, non-governmental experts, and scholars.</p> <p> </p></div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

By 7:30 a.m. the following morning, Duke, an unpaid intern who had only been working at the Pentagon for a few weeks, was surrounded by three- and four-star generals, watching the secretary of defense and the commanding general of Iraq discuss military strategy. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Enthralled, Duke took extensive notes and began typing them up as soon as he returned to his desk. But then— “Stop typing right now.” A senior employee in his office interrupted him, Duke remembers. “He looks at my boss and says, ‘Why was Tyler at that meeting? Tyler should not have been at that meeting.’ But my mentor just grins and says, ‘We have a seat at the table.”’   </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Duke went on to work in t</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>he Office of the Secretary of Defense before serving as a civilian intelligence officer in Afghanistan, and he </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>thinks of that moment often. “Being exposed to that level of policymaking that early in your career is transformative,” he said. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>But if a few key things in his life had been different, it would never have happened. That’s what Duke was considering when, last February, he texted one of his best friends—Brenan Richards (COL ’08, MPP ’09), his former colleague and a member of the Batten School’s inaugural Master of Public Policy class—with an idea.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>When she received Duke’s message, Richards was on a conference call, briefing staff members of the Senate Armed Services Committee. She noticed her cell phone light up with his question: Did she want to help create a fellowship for students at the University of Virginia? “I immediately smiled,” she said. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>After her briefing ended, a rapid-fire text exchange ensued: “By 4 p.m. that day, we had come up with the amount of money, where we were going to put it at Virginia, who we were going to target with it and what we were going to call it,” Duke said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>The Duke-Richards National Security Fellowship was established at the Batten School shortly thereafter. Designed </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>to promote and recognize the importance of careers in national security, the fellowship will help mentor and financially support Batten students who have been awarded national security internships</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>—</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>especially those students who have demonstrated monetary need.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Duke, who was an undergraduate at UVA when he began that internship at the Pentagon, said his former supervisor’s decision to invite him to the meeting was significant. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>“You could tell he wanted me to really understand what a career in national security could look like,” he said. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Without mentorship from people like his supervisor, he noted, </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>it would have been difficult for him to achieve the same level of professional success. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>And without support from t</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>he Parents Fund at UVA, which awarded him a grant for the summer, he may not have had the means to accept the internship at all.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Richards</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>—</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>who has advised the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command on foreign policy and served as director of Southeast Asia at the White House’s National Security Council</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>—</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>feels similarly. Although their paths didn’t cross until several years later, when they became colleagues in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Richards had an unpaid summer internship in the Pentagon at the exact same time: the summer of 2008.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>She didn’t seek funding, however. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span> “I didn’t even know you could apply for grants, to be frank,” Richards said. Instead, she lived with her parents for the summer in Northern Virginia, waking up at 4:30 or 5 a.m. every day to commute or “slug” with her father, a military contractor and retired Air Force colonel, to the Pentagon.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Richards got lucky: Her parents’ neighbor, who worked for the Department of Defense as well, helped get her foot in the door for the internship after he offered to drop her resume at a meeting. Without that connection, and the option to live with her parents, Richards said it’s hard to imagine herself in the career she has today. The fellowship felt like an important way to pay her good fortune forward. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“I don’t want the fact that someone’s not able to take an unpaid internship for financial or logistical reasons to prevent them from pursuing their passion,” she said. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Because the fellowship gives preference to applicants with financial challenges, Duke and Richards hope it will help shift the demographics of their profession as well. “We really need a diverse cross-section of people to help us face the greatest security challenges,” said Richards. “It’s a national security imperative that we ensure senior policymakers have the benefit of well-rounded, well-developed policy recommendations.” </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>They also hope the fellowship will attract more people to public service in the first place.  “We’ve seen a lot of really good people opting for the private sector because they can’t afford to take internships in D.C.,” Duke said. “We thought we would do our part to change that calculus.”</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>In addition to offering financial assistance, Duke and Richards will mentor the fellows individually, providing everything from resume help to connections for informational interviews. With help from other Batten and UVA alumni donors, they aim to see the program grow into its own “mini-network” of fellows and graduates, Richards said. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>For now, it’s starting with two: Kevin Heaney (MPP ’22) and Sydney Pulliam (BA ’22). A former intern with the Supreme Court of Virginia in her home city of Richmond, Pulliam has long dreamed of working in national security. She was thrilled when she received the email announcing the new fellowship.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>“I thought, </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>‘Wow, that is exactly who I am and what I plan on doing this summer,’” she said. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>At that point, she was concerned about whether her plans would become a reality. Given that her internship with the Federal Bureau of Investigation does not cover housing and living expenses, Pulliam was simultaneously scouring social media for summer sublets and hunting for someone to rent her room in Charlottesville</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>—</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>with little luck.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>The funding turned her situation around. “</span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Without this fellowship, I would not have been able to accept my internship. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>It means everything to me,” she said. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>For both fellows, the opportunity to work directly with Duke and Richards feels just as valuable as the financial support. “The money part is important, but the real difference-maker will be getting to know them as successful professionals in this field who have been where we are and have risen up,” said Heaney, who is interning with the National Guard. “I’m so grateful, and I applaud them for taking this upon themselves.” </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Duke and Richards look forward to helping students who are standing where they once stood find their own seat at the table. They’ve already met with both of the inaugural fellows for an introductory dinner. “There was a lot of laughter, a lot of bonding over our love of Charlottesville, and a lot of policy wonk nerding out,” Richards said.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Those kinds of connections with students, they hope, will last for many years to come. “This is our small and humble contribution,” Duke said. “It’s our way of showing students how rewarding this life can be, and hopefully leading them to long careers in serving our country.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 cta-wrapper"> </div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/radix_batten/templates/paragraph/paragraph--headline-paragraph-centered.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/radix_batten/templates/field/field--node--field-main-content.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-news-type--news.html.twig * field--node--field-news-type.html.twig * field--node--news.html.twig * field--field-news-type.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="news__type"><a href="/taxonomy/term/461" hreflang="en">Student Stories</a></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/radix/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-social-media-share--news.html.twig * field--node--field-social-media-share.html.twig * field--node--news.html.twig * field--field-social-media-share.html.twig * field--social-media.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/radix_batten/templates/field/field--node--field-social-media-share--news.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-social-media-share field--type-social-media field--label-above field--item wrapper-main-content row"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'block' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * block--social-sharing-block.html.twig * block--social-media.html.twig x block.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/radix_batten/templates/block/block.html.twig' --> <div class="block"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'social_media_links' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/social_media/templates/social-media-links.html.twig' --> <div class="social-media-sharing"> <ul class=""> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nooopener noreffer" class="facebook-share share" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://batten.virginia.edu/taxonomy/term/106/feed&amp;title=[current-pagrandome:title]&amp;image=[og:image]" title="Facebook"> <img alt="Facebook" src="https://batten.virginia.edu/modules/contrib/social_media/icons/facebook_share.svg"> </a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nooopener noreffer" class="linkedin share" href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https://batten.virginia.edu/taxonomy/term/106/feed&amp;img&amp;title=[current-page:img]&amp;source=https://batten.virginia.edu/taxonomy/term/106/feed" title="Linkedin"> <img alt="Linkedin" src="https://batten.virginia.edu/modules/contrib/social_media/icons/linkedin.svg"> </a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nooopener noreffer" class="twitter share" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://batten.virginia.edu/taxonomy/term/106/feed&amp;via=UVABatten" title="Twitter"> <img alt="Twitter" src="https://batten.virginia.edu/modules/contrib/social_media/icons/twitter.svg"> </a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nooopener noreffer" class="pinterest share" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://batten.virginia.edu/taxonomy/term/106/feed&amp;description=" title="Pinterest"> <img alt="Pinterest" src="https://batten.virginia.edu/modules/contrib/social_media/icons/pinterest.svg"> </a> </li> <li> <a class="email share" href="mailto:?subject=&amp;body=Check out this site https://batten.virginia.edu/taxonomy/term/106/feed" title="Email"> <img alt="Email" src="https://batten.virginia.edu/modules/contrib/social_media/icons/email.svg"> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/social_media/templates/social-media-links.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/radix_batten/templates/block/block.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/radix_batten/templates/field/field--node--field-social-media-share--news.html.twig' --> Fri, 09 Jul 2021 14:54:48 +0000 etorr 24591 at https://batten.virginia.edu
