Annette Strauss Internationalizing Dallas is a lecture series hosted by the SMU John G. Tower Center for Political Studies and International Affairs. It was created in 1997, in honor of Annette Strauss, a dedicated civic leader, former mayor of Dallas, and an ambassador-at-large for the city.  This series aims to bring programs to DFW with the objective of fostering a greater understanding of international issues that shape our interdependent world. Hosting speakers with a wide range of expertise from many regions, this lecture series serves as a bridge to connect Dallas with the world.
