Starting an ISI chapter on campus offers professors a unique opportunity to enrich the intellectual environment of their institution while fostering a community of thoughtful and engaged students.
By establishing an ISI chapter, professors can create a vibrant forum for the exploration of conservative ideas and the great works of the Western tradition. This initiative not only enhances the educational experience for students but also positions the professor as a leader in promoting intellectual diversity and rigorous debate.
Moreover, professors gain access to a wealth of resources, including guest lectures, reading groups, and events, which can significantly enhance their own scholarly pursuits and teaching methodologies.
Additionally, professors who start an ISI chapter receive financial compensation, recognizing their dedication and effort in cultivating these vital academic communities. This support underscores ISI’s commitment to sustaining and promoting conservative thought within higher education.
By leading an ISI chapter, professors can expand their professional network, collaborate with like-minded colleagues across the country, and play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of leaders. It is a rewarding endeavor that combines personal, professional, and financial benefits, all while contributing to the enduring mission of ISI.
