The event will draw more than 400 select high school juniors from throughout the state for a morning program and afternoon group discussion sessions on pressing issues.
The public is invited to attend the 10 a.m. opening program – including Lugar’s address, which he has often cited as his most important annual public speech – will be free to the public (register at www.uindylugarsymposium.eventbrite.com). He plans to talk about America’s role in the world in the 21st century.
Lugar is the president of the Washington, D.C.-based Lugar Center, which convenes experts and sponsors research on issues including global food and energy security, bipartisan governance and the effectiveness of international development aid programs.
