In 1970, Peter Krogh became the youngest-ever dean of the Walsh School of Foreign Service (SFS) at the age of 32, and served in that position until 1995. Krogh is often described as the "second founder" of the school after its original founder Edmund A. Walsh. He established a distinct SFS faculty, revised the curriculum, established a faculty advising system, and expanded study abroad opportunities. Additionally, he spearheaded the construction of the Edward B. Bunn, S.J. Intercultural Center (ICC), which now serves as a physical anchor of the Georgetown SFS program.
