In April 2009, Yale announced it had received a $50 million gift to
create the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs. In the fall of 2010, the
university officially opened the institute. The donation came from ex-pharmaceutical businessman and philanthropist John Jackson, a 1967 graduate of [[Yale College]], and his wife Susan. Jackson said he originally intended to become a diplomat when entering Yale, like his great-grandfather.<ref>{{cite news |title=Global affairs center created |author= |url=http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2009/apr/06/global-affairs-center-created/ |newspaper=Yale Daily News |date=6 April 2009 |accessdate=26 August 2011}}</ref> Regarding the gift, Jackson stated, "We hope to inspire students to pursue careers in diplomacy and public service and to become globally engaged leaders in all walks of life." Yale President [[Richard Levin]] added, "The Jackson Institute will become a signature program, marking Yale’s global aspirations. Its teaching programs will permeate the University, expanding the curriculum in international affairs so that students in all its schools are better prepared for global leadership and service."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://opac.yale.edu/news/article.aspx?id=6560 |title=Transformational Gift to Create Jackson Institute for Global Affairs |author= |date=3 April 2009 |work= |publisher=Yale Office of Public Affairs & Communications |accessdate=31 August 2011}}</ref>
