JIS Symposium: Energy and Security

The Journal of International Service
proudly presents our annual Spring Symposium:

"Energy and Security in the 21st Century"

Butler Boardroom, MGC: Friday, January 29, 2010 at 5:00pm

     This symposium is intended to highlight the importance of energy in the near future. As the world becomes more interconnected and the developing world rises, the demand for energy will increase. Concurrently, new forms of energy are being pursued and existing forms of energy are increasingly being exploited. If governments and people around the world hope to ensure peace and prosperity for future, appropriate energy policy must be devised in order to meet the challenges of the future. During the event, it is the Journal’s goal to educate as well as facilitate stimulating discussion regarding energy policy.   

      Speakers that range across the policy spectrum will be present to give keen and diverse insight into the future of energy. Energy’s effect on defense, economics, politics, and civil society will be dissected. Our distinguished group of speakers will address the audience and take extensive time for question and answers. The night will conclude with a round table dinner for audience members to discuss energy related issues with both the speakers and fellow graduate students.
