Calvin College January Series 2015 – Remote Live Webcast
James Stavridis recently accepted the role as dean of The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts University. A retired Admiral in the U.S. Navy, he led the NATO Alliance in global operations from 2009 to 2013 as Supreme Allied Commander. He also served as Commander of U.S. Southern Command, with responsibility for all military operations in Latin America from 2006-2009. A Fletcher PhD, he won the Gullion prize as outstanding student and has published five books and over a hundred articles. His focus is on innovation, strategic communication and planning, and creating security through international, interagency, and public/private partnerships in this turbulent 21st century. He sees dialogue and collaboration, between nations, and between public and private sectors, as key to the future of security. As a Navy officer, he thinks deeply about protecting the value of our “global commons.” And he’s a rare high-ranking military officer who tweets, blogs and accepts friends on Facebook.
