Keynote speaker Ambassador Daniel Simpson spoke on the importance of getting Americans involved with the United Nations and shared snippets from his interesting career in international diplomacy, including his experience teaching now-Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, his recommendation to learn Chinese, and his thoughts on Mubarak and Egypt.
He also took questions from the audience and so many students were enthusiastic about this opportunity that they formed a line all the way to the back of the room!
