2008 Foreign Policy Colloquium (FPC)
Apply at http://www.ncuscr.org/FPC/fpc_application.htm
The FPC is a three-day, wide-ranging look at American foreign policy,
the range of factors that help shape it, and how it affects Americans
and non-Americans alike. The FPC that will feature many exciting,
knowledgeable speakers, including current and former Administration
officials and members of Congress, as well as representatives from
academia, the military, think tanks, NGOs, lobbying groups, and the
corporate world. Speakers in the past have included Secretary of
Labor Elaine Chao, Senator Chuck Hagel, former Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright, former U.S. Trade Representative Carla Hills,
former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, Congressmen Mark Kirk and
Rick Larsen, former U.S. Ambassador to China James Sasser, ABC News'
Ted Koppel, and The Boeing Company's Corporate Director Elizabeth
Schwartz. We are once again inviting both current and former
Administration officials to this year's FPC, including former National
Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski to be our keynote speaker. We
will post an agenda on our website in the spring; agendas from the
2005, 2006, and 2007 programs are currently available online.
The Colloquium is comprised of lectures, panel discussions, group
exercises, and site visits. It is designed to be informative, but also
interactive, with opportunities throughout for dialogue between
students and speakers. It is also a great opportunity to meet fellow
Chinese graduate students from around the country.
Students from all majors (from both the sciences and the arts) have
benefited from the program and have given the program high praise.
