Message from the Director

I am delighted to greet you for the first time as director of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy.  I am honored to have been selected to succeed Geoff Wiseman, and I look forward to working with the Center's wonderful staff on our ambitious agenda.  We will be presenting events ranging from major conferences to lunchtime forums, a new publications series, a broad research program, professional training, an expanded presence in Washington, D.C., and numerous other activities bridging the professional and scholarly communities.  I look forward to hearing from you about matters you think the Center should address as we work to advance the study and practice of public diplomacy.
