issues. He gained his regional expertise during a military career that spanned 23 years,

including postings to Moscow and Madrid. He has lived in both Europe and Asia, and

Tullbane will discuss the art of successful threat assessment that is critical to projecting

America's future military, economic and foreign policy needs. He will look at how this is

accomplished and the view of the world threat assessment in the next few years.

Great Decisions is a nationwide program that brings together local, regional and national

experts in an eight-week lecture series discussing international issues of interest to the

community.

Topics for the series are selected by the Foreign Policy Association of America and are

intended to provide a local forum for discussion on current political and economic issues.

The speakers are selected by participating colleges and universities. St. Norbert College

is one of three schools in Wisconsin that present the entire series.

Admission to individual sessions is $5 at the door.
