2015 Annual Report
The Hoover Institution is pleased to announce that the 2015 Annual Report is now available online. The report outlines the most important results of our work to advance ideas defining a free society in 2015: key policy debates redefined by Hoover fellows; scholarship brought to life in Hoover publications and media; and critical moments in history preserved by the Library & Archives—all powered by the extraordinary generosity of Hoover supporters.
Highlights from this year’s report include:
- A profile of new Tad and Dianne Taube Director Tom Gilligan, including remarks from former director John Raisian, Board of Overseers chairman Thomas W. Tierney, and Stanford University president John Hennessy, welcoming Gilligan to Hoover and detailing his unique qualifications to lead the Institution

Scheduled for completion in 2017, the building will bring friends, fellows, and supporters closer together through new event facilities and further enhance Hoover’s policy research and outreach capabilities
