The Ready Room is the student organization of the Intelligence Studies Program at the George H.W. Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. The leadership and character of President George H.W. Bush, in addition to his service as Director of the CIA, has greatly influenced the development and continuation of the Intelligence Studies Program for graduate students. The Ready Room seeks to continue the legacy of President Bush by providing a forum for the next generation of intelligence leaders and national security professionals to connect, discuss ideas, and spur each other on.

This online platform features analytic pieces written by current and former Bush School students, subject matter experts, and other guest contributors, providing consumers with a central database on intelligence-related issues. Our podcasts bring color and context to the world of intelligence through discussions with professionals on real-world topics. Finally, our events for the student body provide space for academic and professional enrichment and connection with peers interested in intelligence.
