The Global Rebalance of Power
Tuesday, March 16, 12:00-1:00 pm

The world order has been in flux since the end of the Cold War. In recent years, adjusted tariffs and trade, leadership transitions, peace, conflict, and shifting ambitions and alliances around the world have left their impact on the international community. To unpack the significance of where the world is and is headed, the International Relations Council proudly welcomes Secretary Chuck Hagel, former Secretary of Defense. A US Army veteran and member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees, Sec. Hagel brings a perspective rooted in multiple branches of the government, military, and diplomatic efforts. Tickets: $25 (general admission), $15 (IRC members), FREE for students.

Nowruz: A Festival of Harmony with Nature
Friday, March 19, 4:30 pm

The KU Persian Language Club will host a virtual presentation on Nowruz! Presented by KU Tajik Foreign Language Teacher Assistant, Salmonshoh Orzuev. Nowruz marks the beginning of the new year in Persian calendar and is widely celebrated as a spring festival in Iran, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and the surrounding world. In 2009, UNESCO included Nowruz in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In 2010, the UN declared March 21 as the International Day of Nowruz noting “the orientation of Nowruz towards the affirmation of life in harmony with nature, the awareness of the inseparable link between constructive labour and natural cycles of renewal and the solicitous and respectful attitude towards natural sources of life.” Mr. Orzuev will mainly focus on the celebration of the festival in Tajikistan.
