Director's Message from Peter Waanders We strive to foster meaningful conversations about the leading issues of our time, and to offer you, our supporters, a seat at the table. So far this year Fellows have heard Mickey Edwards on restoring civility in Congress, General McChrystal on leadership lessons, and just this past week, Fellows enjoyed a symposium about the Supreme Court. A few spaces remain for the Lincoln symposium. We would love to have you join us. Best regards, Peter |

SOF Winter Symposium: What Have We Learned From Lincoln? March 17-19, 2013. Aspen, CO. As Lincoln sweeps theaters nationwide, what can we learn of the real man? What would he make of drone warfare, the fiscal cliff, a divided Congress? Over two charged sessions, engage with leading scholars to understand, and apply, Lincoln’s legacy. Moderated by Harold Holzer, Vice President at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and by Craig Symonds, Professor Emeritus, United States Naval Academy. Visit Upcoming Events in Aspen, CO for more information. |
