Mississippi State
University provides both students and faculty with a
wide-range of opportunities to gain awareness of
international political, economic, and security issues. To
strengthen and enhance the scope of such availabilities, the
university launched a one-million dollar fund raising drive
to establish a Chair in International Security Studies. The
effort was successful; and the endowed chair, titled
"Chair in International Security Studies," was
inaugurated in June 1996.
In May 2000, the
University leadership named the Chair the Radványi Chair
in International Security Studies. The Chair is a
university-wide institute and reports directly to the Vice
President for Research at Mississippi State University.
