He is a member of the American Political Science Association, the Mont Pelerin Society, the International Churchill Society and the Philanthropy Roundtable. Published widely in national newspapers, magazines and periodicals on issues of public policy, history and political theory, he is the author of three books: "Liberty and Learning: The Evolution of American Education;" "The Founders’ Key: The Divine and Natural Connection between the Declaration and the Constitution and What We Risk by Losing It;" and "Churchill’s Trial: Winston Churchill and the Salvation of Free Government."

Under Dr. Arnn’s leadership since May of 2000, Hillsdale College’s Center for Constructive Alternatives, Ludwig von Mises Lecture Series and National Leadership Seminars have continued to present leading scholars and public figures to audiences nationwide. "Imprimis," the College’s national speech digest, has increased its monthly circulation to over 2.9 million. The College has launched the Barney Charter School Initiative, the Hoogland Center for Teacher Excellence, the Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship, and a new Graduate School of Statesmanship. All matriculants at Hillsdale are now signatories to the College Honor Code, which commits them to the pursuit of the moral and intellectual virtues as prescribed by the 1844 founding document of the College. And distinguished visiting fellowship programs have been established, through which such teachers have been brought to campus as classicist and military historian Victor Davis Hanson, author and columnist Mark Steyn, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

In addition to serving as president, Dr. Arnn is a professor of politics and history at Hillsdale, teaching courses on Aristotle, on Winston Churchill, and on the American Constitution. He is also overseeing the production of seven document volumes that will complete the official biography of Winston Churchill, a massive biography of which Hillsdale College is now the sole publisher. Dr. Arnn and his wife, Penelope, have four children, Katy, Henry, Alice and Tony.
