Wendy Sherman

10:55 a.m., May 4, 2005--Ambassador Wendy Sherman, former National Security Council and State Department adviser to former President Bill Clinton and his secretary of state, Madeline Albright, will give a lecture, “Asia Enigma: China and North Korea,” at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 4, in Mitchell Hall.

The lecture is part of “Prescription for the President: Policy Medicine for Global Challenges,” a series of Global Agenda lectures that are free and open to the public.

The lectures by diplomats, journalists and other foreign affairs practitioners focus on the international problems facing President George W. Bush in his second term. Such concerns include the occupation and war in Iraq, as well as nuclear threats in North Korea, Iran and Russia. Other issues addressed by the series include terrorism, the Arab-Israeli conflict and political and economic challenges in Europe and Asia.

From 1997-2001, Sherman was the counselor of the Department of State, serving Albright as special adviser and consultant on major issues of foreign policy.

Organized by Ralph Begleiter, UD’s Rosenberg Professor of Communication and distinguished journalist in residence, the Global Agenda series is designed to survey potential threats to the United States and explore the complex framework of international relations. The series is cosponsored by the University of Delaware and the World Affairs Council of Wilmington.
