Great Decisions 2025

Great Decisions, America’s largest discussion program on world affairs, returns to the library starting February 5, 2025. The group will meet in the Brooks Room weekly on Wednesdays from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. through March 26.

The Foreign Policy Association has selected eight critical issues facing the country to be the subjects of conversation. Participants are encouraged to order a briefing book to read in advance so they can be informed and ready to engage. Briefing books are available on the association’s website, fpa.org. One copy of the briefing book will be available at the Service Desk for in-library reading.
