History

The Payson Center was founded in 1998 by William E. Bertrand and Eamon Kelly as the Payson School for International Development and Technology Transfer, with a focus on information and communication technology in international development.[2] Up until 2007 Payson maintained an office in Arlington, VA.

In 2008 it was reorganized as part of the Tulane Law School, which at the time was a unique affiliation. In 2015, the Center underwent another restructuring and no longer exists as a functioning entity.[3]
