The new UNT Kuehne Speaker Series on National Security showcases the university's excellence in military history, political science, economics, sustainability, logistics, peace policy studies, engineering, computer science and cybersecurity.
The first series launched this fall in collaboration with the World Affairs Council of Dallas-Fort Worth as an opportunity to highlight UNT's nationally and internationally recognized programs and faculty engaged in multidisciplinary research related to national security issues. The series is named for alumnus Ernie W. Kuehne Jr. ('66), who pledged $300,000 to support it.
Guest speaker Gen. Michael Hayden, a retired four-star general and former director of the National Security Agency, will speak Feb. 4, and guest speaker Robert Kaplan, an author, geopolitical analyst and senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, will lecture May 6.
