On October 16, SSP hosted the Honorable Kathleen Hicks, former Deputy Secretary of Defense, for a dinner and fireside chat. An SSP alum, Dr. Hicks covered a range of issues including the future of warfare, improving military innovation and acquisition, China’s nuclear modernization, and civil-military relations.
Thank you, Dr. Hicks, for an engaging conversation on this crisp autumn evening in Cambridge!
