Part of UMaine’s William S. Cohen Center for International Policy and Commerce Guest Lecture Series, Meese’s presentation is entitled “Terrorism: A World View.” He will discuss the challenges created by geopolitical dynamics and terrorist movements around the world.

The William S. Cohen Center for International Policy and Commerce was created in 1997, honoring the former Maine Senator and U.S. Secretary of Defense from Bangor who once taught business law at UMaine. The center serves as a focal point for education, outreach and research on important and timely international issues. The center’s programs and resources benefit historians, students, public servants, business people and the general public. UMaine’s Fogler Library is also home to the William S. Cohen Archive.
