Class of 1996 Session Overview
“I found the Seminar XXI experience to be intellectually stimulating, thought provoking, and extremely relevant. Many of the topics discussed in 1995–1996 are America’s challenges today. Seminar XXI helps me to meet those challenges today.”
Honorable Claude M. Bolton, Jr. Assist Sec Army (AT&L)
