In 1968, Congress established the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars as a living memorial to Woodrow Wilson, the 28 th president of the United States. Commemorating Wilson's service to the nation, the Center is a nonpartisan institution of advanced study that promotes scholarship in public affairs. The Wilson Center convenes the thinkers and the doers, scholars and policymakers, in the confident hope that through shared research and dialogue, better understanding and better policy will emerge.
