The TCU Frost Foundation Lectureship for Global Issues and the Center for International Studies: TCU Abroad will host keynote speaker Erik R. Peterson who will present "What Will the World Look Like in 2025?" Tuesday, February 26 at 5 p.m. in the Brown-Lupton Student Center Ballroom. Peterson, who is the senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), will discuss one of the center's initiatives The Seven Revolutions. The Seven Revolutions project identifies and analyzes the most significant global trends that will alter our world by 2025. The seven key trends that will effect change are: population; resource management; technology innovation and diffusion; information and knowledge creation and dissemination; and economic integration, conflict, and governance.

In addition to this presentation, CSIS and TCU's Schieffer School of Journalism have recently agreed to co-sponsor a monthly series of dialogues titled "Dialogues in Public Policy and the Media" hosted by award-winning broadcast journalist and CBS Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer.

The Frost Foundation Lectureship for Global Issues is an endowed lectureship, established by the Denver-based Frost Foundation, to provide a series of speakers of international stature who can discuss, from personal or professional experience, topics related to preparing students and faculty members to live and work in a global society.
