Ike’s Anvil is the Eisenhower Institute’s blog for undergraduate perspectives on public policy and leadership. It is a repository for Gettysburg College students to share their views on local, national, and world issues, as well as on Eisenhower Institute programs and events.
The Anvil is inspired by the legacy of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and its name comes from his last name, which in German means “iron miner.” As president, Eisenhower was known for his pragmatic and moderate approach to solving problems. In a time of political polarization, we hope this blog will perpetuate Eisenhower’s legacy in civil discourse today. For some contributors, the Anvil may be a place to hammer out political consensus; for others, it may be a space to forge their identity as an engaged citizen and leader.
