What They're Saying about MIC's World Affairs programs:
"My staff have sung your praises not only for your hard work [on the State Department Town Meeting]... but for your wise counsel and good judgment. The overall feedback from the audience was gratifying, not only the high rating for the event but the interest in more opportunities to learn about foreign policy and have some input."
