NOVEMBER UPDATE

1. Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Quarterly dinner at Indian Summer.  It was a tremendous success and we hope to see all of you (and more) again next time!

2. Brown Bag Lunch series: Dr. Tom Bruneau, NPS Professor in National Security Affairs, specializing in Civil-Military relations and Latin America,  “Lula and Beyond” on 1 December 1200-1250 in GL-109.

3. Planning is in full swing for the 2011 Foreign Area Officers Conference held at NPS.  This is one of the largest annual student planned and executed conferences held at NPS.  We are seeking members of each service's political-military community from all regions to assist with the event.  Several committees are needed to ensure the conference is engaging and professionally executed. Realizing that the primary duty at NPS is academics, we are looking for as many folks as possible to distribute the effort. Regardless of whether it's your 1st quarter or you are finishing up your thesis, please consider assisting and making the 2011 FAO Conference a professionally rewarding experience.

4. Africa Films Project: Find out how easy it is for you to help the FAOAM select films for an upcoming conference at NPS on Africa.  Click here: https://sites.google.com/site/faoamonterey/africa-film-reviews

5. Sponsor an International Officer from Saudi Arabia, Nepal, or East Timor.  The International Programs Office is looking for student sponsors for international officers arriving in January.  Contact Jason Munoz (jdmunoz@nps.edu, 831-656-3063) at the IPO for questions or to volunteer.

6. Join us for our regular social at the Trident Room on 18 November at 1500.
