Protecting America from Weapons of Mass Destruction
(Academic)
Please join Ken Myers '92, Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) as he talks about his experiences leading the most important Department of Defense organization you've probably never heard of. DTRA is tasked with protecting the US and its allies from weapons of mass destruction. It is powered by over 2000 biomedical engineers, chemists, microbiologist, nuclear physicists, logisticians, accountants and more. Mr. Myers' presentation will focus on DTRA's role in removing and destroying chemical weapons from hostile Syrian territory. His comments will reflect his experience with Congressional appropriations, US foreign policy, and arms control. For more information, please see http://www.vtmag.vt.edu/sum15/ken-myers.html
