Edmund Hull '71, former U.S. ambassador to Yemen and winner of several State Department awards, has been appointed to fill Wilson School's first Diplomat-In-Residence position.
The position was created by Wilson School Dean Anne-Marie Slaughter '80. It will be an annual appointment "designed to enhance the [Wilson] School's tradition of excellence in preparing students for diplomatic careers," according to the Wilson School's website.
Hull will be expected to teach related courses, meet students in both group and individual settings, present public lectures, and help students with any questions they may have on leadership and career paths. He currently teaches WWS 547: The Conduct of International Diplomacy, a spring 2005 course.
"Ambassador Hull exemplifies Princeton's and the [Wilson] School's proud tradition of service, statesmanship and leadership," Slaughter said in a press release. "His remarkable range of experience in the foreign service, particularly in the Middle East, will add tremendous value to the School's curriculum and career training."
Hull, who graduated with honors from the Wilson School in 1971, is excited about his return.
"It feels great to be back in Princeton," Hull said. "To me, it is a golden opportunity to interact with some of the brightest students in the country. I hope to influence a next generation of diplomats."
Hull also hopes to benefit from the University environment.
"I'd also like to broaden my own horizons and tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience present in Princeton," he said. "I'd like to know what the smart people here have to say."
Hull served as U.S. ambassador to Yemen from 2001 to 2004, during the surge in United States-Yemeni cooperation in fighting terrorism. From 1999 to 2001, he served as the State Department's Acting Coordinator for Counterterrorism. Before that, he was the Director for Near Eastern Affairs on the National Security Council.
"My value added is real world experience, having been through crisis and negotiations in the Middle East and Washington," Hull said.
Hull has received the State Department's Meritorious Honor Award and two Superior Honor Awards.
In 2001, Hull was also selected for the George H.W. Bush Award for Counterterrorism from the Central Intelligence Agency.

| The Peace Corps Library Peace Corps Online is proud to announce that the Peace Corps Library is now available online. With over 30,000 index entries in over 500 categories, this is the largest collection of Peace Corps related reference material in the world. From Acting to Zucchini, you can use the Main Index to find hundreds of stories about RPCVs who have your same interests, who served in your Country of Service, or who serve in your state. |
| WWII participants became RPCVs Read about two RPCVs who participated in World War II in very different ways long before there was a Peace Corps. Retired Rear Adm. Francis J. Thomas (RPCV Fiji), a decorated hero of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, died Friday, Jan. 21, 2005 at 100. Mary Smeltzer (RPCV Botswana), 89, followed her Japanese students into WWII internment camps. We honor both RPCVs for their service. |
| Bush's FY06 Budget for the Peace Corps The White House is proposing $345 Million for the Peace Corps for FY06 - a $27.7 Million (8.7%) increase that would allow at least two new posts and maintain the existing number of volunteers at approximately 7,700. Bush's 2002 proposal to double the Peace Corps to 14,000 volunteers appears to have been forgotten. The proposed budget still needs to be approved by Congress. |
| RPCVs mobilize support for Countries of Service RPCV Groups mobilize to support their Countries of Service. Over 200 RPCVS have already applied to the Crisis Corps to provide Tsunami Recovery aid, RPCVs have written a letter urging President Bush and Congress to aid Democracy in Ukraine, and RPCVs are writing NBC about a recent episode of the "West Wing" and asking them to get their facts right about Turkey. |
| Ask Not As our country prepares for the inauguration of a President, we remember one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and how his words inspired us. "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." |
| Latest: RPCVs and Peace Corps provide aid Peace Corps made an appeal last week to all Thailand RPCV's to consider serving again through the Crisis Corps and more than 30 RPCVs have responded so far. RPCVs: Read what an RPCV-led NGO is doing about the crisis an how one RPCV is headed for Sri Lanka to help a nation he grew to love. Question: Is Crisis Corps going to send RPCVs to India, Indonesia and nine other countries that need help? |
