Syrian Panel Discussion

Students interested in leadership in foreign countries will have the opportunity this week to hear from a panel of experts.

University of Oklahoma’s College of International Studies is hosting a panel discussion focusing on American leadership in Syria. The event will feature Ambassador Kurt Volker, executive director of Arizona State University’s McCain Institute for International Leadership.

Attendees can expect a thoughtful and lively discussion of what, if any, role the United States should play in the current Syria conflict, according to Lyndsey Ray, development officer for the College of International Studies.

“We invited Ambassador Volker to be our guest to share his knowledge on the Middle East and offer commentary on the region’s current conflicts to illustrate the value of an internationally-focused education in preparing American leaders for global conflict resolution,” Ray said.

The panel discussion will take place Friday, Oct. 19, at 11:30 a.m. in Hester Hall, room 170.
