The American Studies Institute began at Harding University in 1953 as the School of American Studies and was expanded and renamed in 1988. It is designed to supplement the academic training of students by promoting a complete understanding of the institutions, values and ideas of liberty and democracy by providing up-to-date reflections from national and international leaders in business, government and education. Past speakers have included President George W. Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Ben Stein, Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell, and President George H.W. Bush, just to name a few.
