Dean's Roundtable
The Dean's Roundtable (DRT) is IR/PS's flagship speaker program. It is one of the liveliest forums in Southern California for the discussion of current international issues focused on the Pacific Rim. Speakers present informative lectures on the global economy, up to the minute political insights and forecast future international scenarios.

We have hosted many distinguished speakers, including Thomas Friedman of The New York Times, Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change R.K Pachauri, former Secretary of Defense William Perry, and Chair of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission C. Richard D'Amato, and numerous visiting ambassadors and dignitaries from around the world.

Donors to IR/PS who give $1200 annually or more are invited to attend all DRT events.
