Albright's diplomat father, Josef Korbel, took a job teaching international studies at DU when the family first moved here. He eventually founded the university's graduate school of international studies in 1964. In 2008, DU changed the program's name in his honor, calling it the Josef Korbel School of International Studies.

"[Albright] grew up here on the campus really and was here so often over the years," Fritz Mayer, the dean of the Josef Korbel of International Studies, said. "It was really one of the honors of my life to get to know Madeleine."
