This Friday at 6:30 in Haldeman 124 The Dartmouth World Affairs Council has the pleasure of hosting a dinner and open discussion with former CENTCOM General James Mattis. If you are not busy this Friday evening (looking at you, '17s), join us for intelligent discourse and free C & A's subs. There will be limited seating available, so please respond to this e-mail if you plan on attending.


The Dartmouth World Affairs Council is an organization sponsored by the Dickey Center for International Understanding that is dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of world issues. Our goal has been to engage national and international actors and exports in a forum conducive to intelligent, thoughtful discussion of issues facing the United States and the world. Committed to scholarly analysis, the Council espouses no cause, promotes no ideology, and aligns with no political group. The World Affairs Council prides itself on its balance and scholarly detachment.


If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>edu with any questions. We look forward to meeting you all!
