SIA presents Global Issues Colloquium

Leading thinkers, authors, and scholars will visit Penn State's School of International Affairs to discuss the latest research and trends in foreign relations, conflict resolution, food security, poverty, religion, terrorism, and nation building at this year's SIA Global Affairs Colloquium.

Organized by Professor Dennis Jett, a retired U.S. Ambassador, all colloquium presentations will be open to the public and webcast live. “Major international problems cannot be solved through just one academic discipline,” said Amb.
