Janet Breslin-Smith, a professor of foreign and military policy at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., will give a public talk at the University of baby直播app at Boulder on Tuesday, Feb. 26.
Breslin-Smith, who will be on campus Feb. 25-26 as a guest of the World Affairs Athenaeum, will speak at 2:30 p.m. in the Old Main Chapel about "The Impact of Sept. 11 on Washington." The event is free and open to the public.
An expert in many national security issues including legislative and military campaigns, trade wars and trade policy, Breslin-Smith is chair of the department of national security at the National Defense University. She teaches a course on formulating and implementing U.S. national security policy.
"We are bringing Dr. Breslin-Smith to campus because we feel that the ramifications of Sept. 11 need to be addressed," said Elizabeth Mauldin, one of the student fellows responsible for pulling together Athenaeum events. "She will inform us as to how Sept. 11 is forming the future of foreign policy."
The Athenaeum also is sponsoring a student dinner with Breslin-Smith on Feb. 25 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The dinner is only open to CU-Boulder students, and space is limited so interested students should contact the Athenaeum fellows to make reservations.听
The Athenaeum, a program in which students meet with world-renowned guests and discuss world affairs, is an offshoot of the CU-Boulder Conference on World Affairs, according to fellow Priya Kumar.
Past Athenaeum visitors to CU-Boulder include Gary Hart, Margot Adler, Dr. Patch Adams, Werner Herzog and Susan Faludi.
