Regina Galer, the National Security Council Director for Weapons of Mass Destruction and Counterterrorism, visited campus on February 18 to speak to students about “Today’s nuclear threats: what they are, how we got here, and what can be done.”

Rina Keller, professor of Social Work and chair of the campus Civic Engagement Committee, believes that students deserve the opportunity to learn about this critical topic from an expert. “Nuclear proliferation remains a threat to the nation’s security,” she explains, “and the committee determined a need to engage and equip students with information to facilitate critical thinking about this issue.”
