This issue was a major redesign based on expertise generously donated by the first Arts & Sciences editorial board, which I created and recruited. Members included the founder of Reddit, the editor of Real Simple, publisher of Scientific American, public affairs director of Vanity Fair, CFO of the Washington Post Company, and others. 

Former CBS Middle East Correspondent Kimberly Dozier wrote the cover story based on the decades of expertise of renowned UVA professors:  the "dean of foreign policy studies in the United States," a negotiator of the 1978 Camp David Peace Accords, an Islamic scholar  who has advised the Department of Defense and advised on the 2005 Iraqi constitution, and an award-winning scholar of Persian literature. This issue was never published, however.

To accompany this issue, I initiated the first Communications Office collaboration with the renowned Miller Center to support the magazine cover story. The panel of professors featured in the story was moderated by the Pulitzer-prizewinning author of Slavery by Another Name. The standing-room-only event was webcast live to global alumni – the first such webcast and the first time students were included in College communications strategy.
