Leadership Programs Welcome General Breedlove

Retired United States Air Force General Philip M. Breedlove visited Georgia College & State University to serve as the speaker for the university's Usery Forum on Leadership.

During his visit, he taught a class on American foreign policy and offered unique perspective on the conflict in Ukraine based on his past experiences with NATO. Breedlove also shared his ideas on "peace engineering," which is an interdisciplinary approach to solving international conflicts.

General Breedlove's Usery Forum was filled to capacity with over 100 members of GCSU student body, faculty, and staff attending. For those who missed it, be sure to watch the forum here.
