On May 7, 2022, the National Defense University and National Defense University Foundation convened a McNair Colloquium that featured a moderated discussion with Ambassador (ret.) Marie Yovanovitch, author of Lessons from the Edge. The McNair Colloquia presented an opportunity for NDU faculty and students, and national security scholars and practitioners to engage and enrich the research and learning environment across the university. While this event was not open to the public, it demonstrated the dynamic and world-class academic and education experiences provided to the students enrolled at NDU.
