Thought Leader Forum
The Augustana Thought Leader Forum is a catalyst for insightful public discussion. Presenting a broad range of issues, focusing this academic year on national security and international affairs, the Forum's first series is "Islam and the West." Forum organizers believe that an informed and engaged citizenry is a valuable asset for the people in the region. Augustana believes it is ideally positioned to assert its intellectual resources in this capacity.
