Class of 2005 Session Overview

“Seminar XXI exposes participants to the context–the history and theory–of current events in the international security arena. It was an exceptional broadening experience, opening my aperture to the diverse thinking and worldviews of the speakers and, as important, the mental models of the other participants.”
Stephen B. Wehrenberg Director, Future Force and Director, Executive Development, US Coast Guard
