The Washington Seminar was created in 1973 under the Dept. of Political Science and remained under the department's jurisdiction throughout its name changes to the Dept. of Government (1979-1982) and back to the Dept. of Political Science (1982- ). Directors of the program, also called managing directors or coordinators in the early years of the program, include Ray Hillam (1973-1981), Laurie Wilson (1981-1983), Scott Dunaway (1983-2007), Robert Goss (2007-2010), and Scott Dunaway (2010- ).
