Bard Students Participate in Conference at Naval Academy <br />

Bard College students Sana Mustafa and Graham Clark participated this week in the prestigious Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference, held at the academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Established in 1961, the conference brings together more than 150 undergraduate students from the United States and over a dozen foreign countries every year for three days of critical discussions, lectures, informal exchanges, and social events.
This year's theme was "Sustainability and Sovereignty: Global Security in a Resource-Strained World." It is an interactive conference that requires extensive preparation and participation in roundtables. Sana's roundtable was "Natural Security: States vs. the Global Commons." Graham's was "The Eagle v. The Bear: Russian and American Grand Strategy in a Resource Scarce Era." Their participation in the conference was supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.
