Leadership and the Challenges of National Security
During his presidency, George Washington outlined his vision for national security. How has his vision manifested over 200 years later? This fall, our annual lecture will explore the contemporary challenges in national security with New York Times senior writer and national security correspondent, David Sanger, and internationally recognized expert on homegrown violent extremism, Dr. Erroll Southers. The interactive discussion will be moderated by USC Sol Price School of Public Policy Professor, David Sloane.
Established through a generous gift by Maribeth Borthwick '73, who also serves as the Vice Regent for California of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, this lecture series explores the Father of our country's lifelong accomplishments, providing a better understanding of him as a person, as well as his remarkable leadership, professional achievements, and lasting legacy.
