The LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin will welcome former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright to help launch the School’s new Master of Global Policy Studies (MGPS) degree on Wednesday evening, September 10 at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin, Texas.
The in-person event is already sold out, but no matter where you live, you can participate in this event at the GSD&M Idea City Island Amphitheatre in Second Life located at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Idea%20City/104/204/39 at 4:00 PM PDT (check your local time.)
In “An Evening with The Honorable Madeleine K. Albright,” Dr. Albright will join LBJ School Dean and former Deputy National Security Advisor James B. Steinberg in a “public conversation” on the emerging global and transnational challenges of the 21st century and how the next generation of young leaders can contribute to developing innovative strategies to meet these challenges.
“Madeleine Albright is one of our most influential scholars and practitioners whose career has helped chart new approaches to the emerging transnational challenges of our time. I can think of no one better suited to help us launch this exciting new degree program at the LBJ School,” said Dean Steinberg.
The event will be both webcast live and presented in the virtual world of Second Life at 4:00 p.m. PDT. The Second Life presentation is made possible by Austin-based advertising agency GSD&M Idea City’s Idea City Island Amphitheatre. “Second Life offers us a unique forum for the introduction of our Global Policy Studies degree program and the discussion with our inaugural guest, Madeleine Albright,” said Steinberg.
