Seeking Security in an Unstable World

Frank Figliuzzi

Tuesday, 19 Nov 2019 at 8:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union

Frank Figliuzzi, the former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence and current NBC News National Security Analyst joins us for an intimate and candid armchair conversation about security and stability on global, national, local, and personal levels. In an increasingly polarized society, Americans find themselves questioning our institutions, our values, and even our form of government. Are we living in less secure, less stable times? Is this the new normal? We’ll explore geopolitical threats and realities across a broad spectrum and offer thoughts on what we might do to preserve and protect the principles that brought our country this far.
