MSFS Centennial | Leadership for the Future
MSFS started in 1922 — 100 years ago — with a mission: to prepare our students to successfully engage with dynamic global challenges and opportunities. Our students use their training and ingenuity in a multitude of ways to forge a safer and more prosperous, equitable, and peaceful world. Their experiences and knowledge enrich our understanding of the dynamism of the global arena and the known and unforeseen challenges our current students will face. Our centennial celebrations reconnected us with one another to honor our shared history, reaffirm our mission, and lean forward to our next glorious century! We kicked off the centennial celebration on December 3, 2021. Throughout the year, we hosted a series of events culminating in a gala celebration on December 2, 2022. Thank you for joining us!

The celebration included a gala dinner at the United States Institute of Peace with a keynote address by MSFS alumnus King Felipe VI of Spain (MSFS ’95).
