Talk:Brown University

Watson Institute/School of International and Public Affairs

Hello everyone,

Sorry to insert a small request here, but the Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs has been renamed to the Watson School of International and Public Affairs as of July 1st, 2025. As someone who attends Brown and this school, I do know that there are distinctions between the capabilities of a school and an institute; therefore, I believe any instance where writers refer to the Watson "Institute" should be updated to Watson "School." Of course, if any section is referring to what it was called in the past then it doesn't need to be changed, but because the university is making meaningful changes that accompany its reclassification, I find that representing it here for the rest of the world to see is important.

Sources should be very easy to find, but here's one for starters--see Brown explain it themselves:
