A former Republican senator from Nebraska will host an informal discussion about foreign policy issues at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Beaird Lounge.
Chuck Hagel, who serves with OU President David Boren as co-chairmen of President Barack Obama’s Intelligence Advisory Board, will present “Afghanistan, Pakistan and Other Foreign Policy Challenges,” according to a press release.
Hagel was appointed to the president’s advisory board in 2009, when Boren lauded Hagel’s appointment, noting his respect for the former senator, according to Daily archives.
In the Senate, Hagel was a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations; Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; and Intelligence Committees.
Hagel, with his leadership in foreign policy and national security issues during his time in the Senate, will provide insight for students about the trials America faces in establishing a secure future, according to the release.
The event is free but has limited seating. Contact the OU Office of Special Events at 405-325-3784.
