The Ambassador Dave and Kay Phillips Family International Lecture series was endowed for the purpose of bringing prominent figures in international security, foreign policy and diplomacy to Duke University in order to engage with students, faculty and the larger Duke community about issues of international importance.
In November 2021, AGS welcomed GEN Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to Page Auditorium. More information about this event can be found here.
