Strategies to Survive the 21st Century

Considering the increasingly international stage onto which University of Maryland students are entering, an informal group of UM personnel, led by OIP Director, Saúl Sosnowski, and with support from Provost Nariman Farvardin, began discussing ways to give UM students (and the larger campus community) the opportunity to consider crucial issues that all will confront in the years and decades ahead.

The first result is the new conversation series, Strategies to Survive the 21st Century, a forum for internationally prominent members of the UM family, the DC area, and other select visitors to share their thoughts on issues that confront contemporary society, such as environmental change, energy needs, economic transformation, political systems, racial and ethnic conflict, and national and international security.

All presentations in the series will be free and open to members of the campus community, and feature an interactive format.
