Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence Policy and International Security

Members of the Schar School of Policy and Government’s Democracy Lab met former CIA director John Brennan following his appearance in a panel discussion hosted by the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security.

The Schar School’s Andrew McCabe discusses his experiences as the leader of the FBI and in his Schar School classrooms with George Mason University President Gregory Washington.

Intelligence experts and their university students presented research and ideas during the annual Intelligence Studies Consortium symposium at Mason Square.

Two leaders of U.S. intelligence agencies took the stage to talk about some that was previously forbidden: counterintelligence.

The intelligence experts at the Schar School’s Michael V. Hayden Center took the stage and then took questions in an “ask me anything” forum.

Is Julian Assange a criminal or a persecuted journalist? A Hayden Center panel attempted to find an answer.

After two veteran politicians discussed the midterm elections, two sitting directors at the CIA divulged details (as much as they could) on how the agency operates.

A senator discusses midterm elections, former national security experts take on classified documents, and a top executive for a major company discusses law. Just a typical day at the Schar School.

More than 1,300 people from across the United States and overseas tuned in to “The Directors' View: Russia & Ukraine,” a virtual program hosted by Mason's Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy and National Security.

To mark the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, we reached out to our colleagues at the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security and the Schar School of Policy and Government for their remembrances. Many of them have worked in the intelligence and policy communities and each has a unique perspective on a day that changed our world.
