The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (WWICS) or Wilson Center is a Washington, D.C.–based think tank named for former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. It is also a United States presidential memorial established as part of the Smithsonian Institution by an act of Congress in 1968.^[2] It self-identifies as nonpartisan.^[3]

The TTCSP ranked it the 10th leading think tank in the world in 2020.^[4]

In November 2022, the Wilson Center was designated as an "undesirable organization" in Russia.^[5]

Organization

The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars was established within the Smithsonian Institution, but it has its own board of trustees, composed both of government officials and of people from private life appointed by the president of the United States. It publishes a digital magazine, the Wilson Quarterly.^[6]^[7]

The center is a public–private partnership with approximately one-third of the center's operating funds coming annually from an appropriation of the U.S. government, and the center is housed in a wing of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, a federal office building where the center enjoys a 30-year rent-free lease. The remainder of the center's funding comes from foundations, grants, contracts, corporations, individuals, endowment income, and subscriptions.^[8]^[9]

Administration

The board of trustees, currently chaired by Bill Haslam, is appointed to six-year terms by the U.S. president.^[10]

The board of directors include Haslam, vice chair Drew Maloney, private citizen members Nick Adams, Thelma Duggin, Brian Hook, David Jacobson, Timothy Pataki, Alan N. Rechtschaffen, Louis Susman. Public members include Antony Blinken, Lonnie Bunch, Miguel Cardona, David Ferriero, Carla Hayden, Shelly Lowe, Xavier Becerra.^[11]

On January 28, 2021, Mark Andrew Green was announced as the Wilson Center's new president, director, and CEO, and he began his term on March 15, 2021.^[12]
