Mon., Oct. 10: "Lessons from Afghanistan, Lessons for Friends."

The 15th Annual Wilmington College Quaker Lecture

Michael Snarr, Professor of Social and Political Studies at Wilmington College, will speak about his August trip to Afghanistan. Snarr and 2009 WC alumnus Matt Southworth, a legislative associate for foreign policy with the Friends Committee on National Legislation, got a first-hand look at the ravages of war during their weeklong visit "under the radar" of the State Department. Testimonials from Afghans representing many walks of life in the capital city of Kabul complement Snarr's status report.
