The Swedish Ambassador to the US, H.E. Karin Olofsdotter, will be visiting UMD on Weds, Dec 4 and will give a public presentation beginning at 1:30 PM in the Global Crossroads Atrium in HJ Patterson Hall.  Amb. Olofsdotter has indicated that her remarks will touch on a number of issues confronting Sweden, Europe and the larger international community (e.g., population movements, political fragmentation, climate change, etc.).  She plans to keep her prepared remarks brief in order to allow for plenty of interaction with the audience, and especially with students.  This is a great opportunity for you and your students to hear from and query an important member of the DC diplomatic community, one whose country is known for its innovative and international approach to the important challenges of our time.  We hope that you will be able to join us!
