Class of 2027 NexPoint Tower Scholars’ Final Presentation to the

Middle East Institute

 In-Person and on Zoom

SMU Tower Center for Public Policy and International Affairs invites you to the final presentation by the Junior Cohort to their client, The Middle East Institute, a prominent think tank located in Washington, D.C.. The Nexpoint Tower Scholars have spent the semester working on policy recommendations that will result in Saudi Arabia and the United States using their bilateral relationship and their respective tools of power to enhance stability in the Middle East. When the United States and Israel decided to attack the Iranian regime in the middle of the semester, the students’ job became infinitely more complex. Come hear their ideas and policy solutions to this difficult policy problem.
