Just a quick reminder:

The Center for Security Policy Studies welcomes T.X. Hammes at 4:30 pm on Friday, February 10th (Founders Hall 113) as part of its Distinguished Speaker Series. Dr. Hammes, a professor at National Defense University, will<http://csps.gmu.edu/speaker-events/distinguished-speaker-series-dr-t-x-hammes/> discuss how new technologies will  shape military and <http://csps.gmu.edu/speaker-events/distinguished-speaker-series-dr-t-x-hammes/> state power in the 21st century<http://csps.gmu.edu/speaker-events/distinguished-speaker-series-dr-t-x-hammes/>. A no host happy hour will follow at  O'Sullivan's.  Dr. Hammes has even promised a cameo appearance...(at the happy hour. Obviously, he'll be at the talk).

Two other items of interest:

1) Please take a moment to sign up for the social media links to the Graduate International Security Association (GISA).  GISA is a Registered Student Organization that networks students and enriches the Schar School graduate study experience in close coordination with the Center for Security Policy Studies with a robust series of speakers, social events, simulations, and more.  GISA is open to graduate students in Master's and PhD programs whose primary focus is security or strategic studies.

2) The University of Pennsylvania's Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law is now accepting applications for its (paid) summer internship program<https://www.law.upenn.edu/institutes/cerl/opportunities.php>. Applications are due by February 17th. The program seeks graduate students "interested in examining the intersection of rule of law values, applied ethics, and national security."
