Amy Oakes

Most faculty members at universities and colleges are exclusively dedicated to teaching and research. Amy Oakes is not one of those faculty members.
Amy, University Associate Professor for Teaching Excellence in the Department of Government and International Relations, co-directs the Project on International Peace and Security (PIPS), the only faculty-mentored undergraduate think tank in the country. Along with Co-Director Dennis Smith, Amy annually recruits a team of students to craft novel policy solutions to emerging international security challenges. Like many William & Mary faculty members, Amy is going above and beyond — preparing students to lead in the international security field.
