Mr. Schauerte: Welcome everyone. Thank you for coming this evening. My name is Mark Schauerte. I’m the Director of Career Development at the University of Chicago, Institute of Politics. We’re excited to have you here this evening. I think it’s going to be a great discussion about careers, policy. Mr. Kirby’s had quite the career in communications. I think everyone is interested in communications, national security, foreign policy. This is a really wonderful opportunity to get a chance to engage.
We’re going to lead off with Thom Shanker who’s going to do a moderated discussion and then turn it over for questions from the students. Thank you again for coming.
Moderator: Thank you, Mark.
Welcome GW students, University of Chicago, Institute of Politics. It’s great to be here today.
I direct a program called the Project for Media and National Security at George Washington University. Most of my work is bringing senior officials like, I call him Admiral, he’s Mr. Kirby now, to meet with correspondents. But in talking to Mark and Jennifer Steinhauer, we wanted to do something specifically for students because you're here this summer, and I think John will be a perfect person.
