A senior military fellow of the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., will be in Jackson Sept. 6 to discuss the obvious and not-so-obvious effects of globalization on world security.
Navy Capt. Sam J. Tangredi's 90-minute public presentation begins at 9:30 a.m. in Room 119 of the J.H. Jackson School of Education Building at Jackson State University. The video broadcast of his address will be simultaneously available on the Starkville and Meridian campuses of Mississippi State University and the Oxford campus of the University of Mississippi.
The non-JSU viewing locations include 138B McCool Hall at MSU-Starkville, MSU-Meridian's Multipurpose Room and B-1 Yerby Center at U.M.
Participants at all locations will be encouraged to take part in a question-and-answer session that follows his remarks.
Tangredi's Mississippi visit is co-sponsored by MSU-Starkville's Janos Radvanyi Chair in International Security Studies, Office of the Dean at MSU-Meridian, JSU's International Program Office, and U.M.'s International Studies Program.
He holds a bachelor's degree from the United States Naval Academy and a doctorate in international relations from the University of Southern California. He also has held the post of national security fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.
A surface warfare officer who most recently commanded the USS Harper's Ferry, Tangredi is a member of the defense university's Quadrennial Defense Review 2001 Working Group. He formerly was special assistant and speechwriter to the Secretary of the Navy and head of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations' strategy and concepts branch.
