About the Center
Testimonials
"The conversation about ISIS with Dr. Milani was perhaps the best speaking event I
have participated in. Milani pushed very knowledgeable people to debate hard choices
that required deep historical background. The audience of some 400 stayed seated for
two hours! That does not happen a lot. What fun!"
– Joshua Landis, Director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University
of Oklahoma
"The Center for Strategic and Diplomatic Studies has already made a significant impact
by being out front in establishing ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏas a university with a prominent global culture.
Since its inception in 2013, the center has conducted cutting-edge research on global
and national security issues. The center has executed programs to rave reviews while,
more importantly, developing potential solutions to critical international problems."
– Retired Rear Admiral Jon Bayless, Tampa Tribune, Nov. 28, "Views" section
"The Center has done a fabulous job bridging the gap between academia and policy and
bringing people to ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏfor in depth discussions that push understanding of these complex
issues forward. I was so excited to be a part of this program, truly one of the best
out there!"
– Ambassador Christopher Hill
