The Alexander Hamilton Society is hosting an event with the Steady State next week.
The Steady State is an organization of Former U.S. national security professionals across intelligence, defense, diplomacy, and homeland security committed to their oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Their goal is to promote democracy, the rule of law, and a secure America grounded in shared civic values. Our speakers will be Steven Cash and Marc Cardwell. You can find their biographies below.
The event is Tuesday 2/3 from 5:30-6:30pm in SHH 408. However, we anticipate that the FAQ section will run over time. Our speakers want to help students get involved and are great contacts to have. They may even be able to help students secure summer internships!
