Mentor Outstanding students
We understand that teaching is a calling.
But we also understand how frustrating it is when so many students aren’t engaged or care only about their grades.
Faculty who mentor ISI students frequently tell us they feel rejuvenated. They remember why they got into teaching in the first place once they engage with ISI students—young people hungry to study the conservative intellectual tradition and the foundations of freedom.
Join the ISI community to discover how you can work with such outstanding students.

Engage Conservative Thought
We’ve been around for more than 65 years, which has its advantages.
Namely, we offer you a treasure trove of intellectual content: books, journals, articles, lectures, debates, and more. You’ll find the most significant thinkers of the postwar conservative intellectual movement represented here.
And through ISI Books, Modern Age, and the Intercollegiate Review, you will find new works to explore all the time.
Modern Age
Here is the forum for stimulating debate and discussion of the most important ideas of concern to conservatives of all stripes.
Modern Age plays a vital role in these contentious, confusing times. It applies timeless principles to the specific conditions and crises of our age—to what founding editor Russell Kirk called “the great moral and social and political and economic and literary questions of the hour.”
And when you become an ISI faculty member, you receive a free subscription to Modern Age!
Refer Students
You probably know a few students who stand out from the pack. Who are interested in ideas. Who question campus orthodoxy. Who relish serious, civil debate. Who are people of character.
Send them ISI’s way! Refer promising students to ISI to help them begin their own intellectual journey and get the college experience they hunger for.
