Join us for a lunchtime conversation with Dr. Dafna H. Rand, Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Program at the Brookings Institution and the Wilhelm Fellow at MIT's Center for International Studies, on the future of U.S. foreign assistance and its role in American foreign policy. 

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience across the executive and legislative branches—including serving as the Director of Foreign Assistance and an Assistant Secretary at the State Department—Dr. Rand will explore how assistance can advance U.S. security, economic, humanitarian, and strategic priorities. 

The discussion will examine how U.S. foreign assistance could be restructured to meet the challenges of global authoritarianism, great-power competition, and global crises, and what these shifts might mean for U.S. leadership on the world stage.
