Founding President, The Trebuchet

I am the Founding Director Emeritus (1985-2016) of the Institute For Global Leadership at Tufts University. This is the letter I received from Tufts’ President Anthony Monaco upon my departure.

Resonating the mantra I originally developed for the Institute, Thinking Beyond Boundaries / Acting Across Borders, The Trebuchet’s motto is Breaking Down Barriers /Building Bridges.

I will help develop their initial international relations curriculum, buttress their Alternative Dispute Resolution instruction, and advise the Chancellor on the creation of their interdisciplinary synaptic offerings.

I am a Non-Resident Research Associate at the Centre for International Studies of Oxford University's Department of Politics and International Relations. I serve as Senior Fellow at the Liechtenstein Institute for Strategic Development, and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights; Senior Strategic Advisor for the Human Rights Foundation, and Strategic Adviser for RefugePoint, and Music for Life International.

I serve on the Advisory Boards of the VII Foundation and the Mind/Brain Center on War and Humanity; Internet Bar Organization, the Development Advisory Board of the Council for European Studies, and contributor, EuropeNow; Daughters for Life Foundation; The Academic Board of the American Friends of Combatants for Peace; Student Pugwash USA, International Student/Youth Pugwash, the International Peace Accelerator; Embodying Peace; Embodying Justice, Jewish Movement for Uyghur Freedom, Global Futurist Initiative, and Final Words.

I am a Fellow of Professor Philip Bobbitt’s Institute for Law and Strategy.

First row is of my octogenarian era.
