Following the panel a reception was held for alumni and current Pardee School students which provided an opportunity for interaction across a wide variety of topics. Attendees discussed the benefits of a Pardee School education in the work force, as well as the importance of creating valuable professional connections.
The “World in Flux” panel, which has become an alumni weekend tradition at the Pardee School, in past years has focused on the changing world order, the current challenges facing democracy, the June 2016 Brexit referendum and the global shifts in an increasingly complex world.
