The Bush School of Government & Public Service is an academic college of Texas A&M University founded in 1997 under former President George H. W. Bush's philosophy that "public service is a noble calling." [1] Since then, the Bush School has continued to reflect that notion in curriculum, research, and student experience and has become a leading international affairs, political science, and public affairs institution.

Hermann was hired as the Founding Director to build the Bush School; the first students started taking classes in Fall 1997. The school was initially a department inside the College of Liberal Arts but became an independent college within Texas A&M University in 2000. [2]

The Bush School was named in honor of former US President George H. W. Bush. He was involved in providing direction in the organization by helping bring noted professors and other individuals from the public and private sec to the campus. Visitors have included Ban Ki-moon, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Helmut Kohl, Peter Orszag, Mitt Romney, Mike Krzyzewski, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Karl Rove, Andrew Card, Dan Quayle, Antonin Scalia, Ryan Crocker, Michael Mullen, Sean Hannity, Jeb Bush, Jiang Zemin.

ISTPP's policy research aims to identify the public and stakeholders' acceptability parameters for science and technology applications. ISTPP also provides interdisciplinary research experience for doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students to augment their training as future decision and policy-makers and university faculty. Graduate students may also work with scholars as coauthors on manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. The current director of the ISTPP is Arnold Vedlitz. [27]
