Dr. Charles F. Hermann is a Senior Professor and the Brent Scowcroft Chair Emeritus. He came to Texas A&M University in 1995 to organize the Bush School of Government and Public Service and serve as its founding director. The School opened in the fall of 1997. After the Bush School became an independent unit with its own dean (initially Robert Gates), Dr. Hermann served as Associate Dean for Academic Programs and then as the designer and first director of the Bush School’s master’s program in International Affairs . He continued that assignment until summer 2013, when he spent a year on professional development leave at the Ohio State University. With Sally Dee Wade, he has recently coauthored a book on the first twenty years of the Bush School, Called to Serve: The Bush School of Government and Public Service. In the Bush School, Dr. Hermann teaches courses on American foreign policy, international politics, and foreign policy analysis.
