served as interim vice president of Egypt for a month before resigning when the nation’s security suffered. “He’s had some very interesting experience in a very interesting and important part of the world,� Johnstone said. “So, for that reason, he’s a very exciting person to have associated with this year.� According to Johnstone, ElBaradei’s connections to the Fletcher School span at least 10 years. In 2003, ElBaradei visited the university as a Commencement speaker and expressed his fondness for the school. “We do remember him mentioning at some point in the past that it would be fun to visit Fletcher, and we decided to pursue that actively,� Johnstone said. After meeting with Dean of the Fletcher School Admiral James Stavridis, ElBaradei quickly agreed to spend time on campus, Johnstone added. Glennon, who encouraged university officials to strengthen ties with the Nobel laureate, explained that he met ElBaradei in 1998 and shortly after agreed to work
for him at the IAEA, based in Vienna. “I was immensely impressed with the IAEA,� Glennon said. “It was a model of administrative probity and integrity. People at the IAEA loved working for [ElBaradei]. They took great pride in the agency.� After taking a job at the Fletcher School, he stayed in touch with ElBaradei, Glennon said. During a visit to campus, ElBaradei agreed to serve as a guest lecturer during one of Glennon’s courses. “The students loved him, and we were all sorry that he had to return to Vienna so quickly,� he said. “But the experience left all of us here at Fletcher wanting to see more of him ... [W]hen the opportunity came up again to have a visitor of his status, he was a logical person that we all turned to, given our relationship with him.� Both Glennon and Johnstone expressed excitement about having ElBaradei on campus. “He’s an extremely approachable and unpretentious fellow,� Glennon said. “At the same time, he’s a prominent international legal scholar.�
