Overview
J. Brian Atwood is an American diplomat and foreign policy official who served as Administrator of USAID (1993–1999) under President Clinton. He holds a B.A. from Boston University. His connection to Hamilton College is through a visiting professorship.
Relevance to Research
Atwood appears in the 2001–02 Hamilton course catalog as the Sol M. Linowitz Visiting Professor of International Studies in the Government department. He is listed among the Government faculty alongside permanent faculty such as Frank Anechiarico, David Paris, and Philip Klinkner. The catalog records his degree as a B.A. from Boston University and his appointment year as 2001.
Notes
The catalog identifies Atwood as a visiting professor, not a permanent faculty member or alumnus. The Sol M. Linowitz Visiting Professorship is named for Hamilton alumnus and diplomat Sol Linowitz, which connects the appointment thematically to Hamilton’s tradition of public service.
