色花堂app

色花堂app鈥檚 International Affairs Council (IAC), housed in the College of Arts and Letters, will host the 44th annual Frank Church Symposium on Feb. 26 and 27.

The theme for this year鈥檚 symposium is 鈥淐ross Cultural Expression in a Transforming World.鈥�

The event is held annually in honor of Idaho Sen. Frank Church, chair of the U.S. Committee on Foreign Relations during the Vietnam War.

Charles 鈥淐harley鈥� Metcalf, ISU alumnus, will present the keynote address. Metcalf will speak on 鈥淐ross Cultural Expression from a National Security Communication Perspective鈥� on Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. in the Stephens Performing Arts Center.

Metcalf graduated from ISU in 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Army. He also graduated from ISU with a master鈥檚 degree in education in 1970. In 1971 Metcalf began a 38-year career in the U.S. government, serving as a U.S. Army officer as well as a civilian and contract employee of the Department of Defense. A Vietnam War veteran who survived the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, he has traveled extensively in the United States and abroad.

鈥淚鈥檓 honored and humbled by having this opportunity to speak,鈥� Metcalf said. 鈥淚 see myself as an average, ordinary man who has had some interesting and unique experiences.鈥�

Metcalf鈥檚 lifelong interest in national security was sparked by campaigning and working for Sen. Church. Now retired from his career in government service, Metcalf currently attends George Mason University where he hopes to earn his Ph.D. in communication and become a research faculty member.

The symposium鈥檚 main panels will be held in the Pond Student Union Salmon River Suites on Pocatello鈥檚 campus on Feb. 26-27. All events are free and open to the public.

The symposium is organized and planned entirely by students in the IAC, who gain practical experience to use when finishing their degree.

The events run from 8:15 a.m. to 8 p.m., with the keynote address at 7 p.m. on Feb. 26; and 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. on Feb. 27.
