Thursday, April 2, 7:30 in the M.S.U. Student Union Heritage Room. Everyone in the Mankato area is invited to our Kessel Memorial Lecture presented by the Department of Government.

The Great War 101:
Who Did What to Whom in July 1914, Why It Mattered Long After, and Why It Matters Still
Dr. Ralph Menning
Thursday, April 2, 7:30 P.M,
Heritage Room C.S.U.

This lecture will discuss flip sides of the same coin: how the fear of unleashing another world war has haunted decision-makers ever since 1914 and, conversely, on behalf of what agendas “1914” has been pressed into service.

Dr. Menning (Kent State University-Stark) teaches international history, Germany and Central Europe, and on the modern Middle East. He is a graduate of the U.N. International School in New York and Yale, and earned his Ph.D. in modern European history at Brown. He is the author of The Art of the Possible: Documents on Great Power Diplomacy, 1814-1914 (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1996).

To go to grad school, or not to go: that is the question that many bachelor's degree-holders face. And while some top positions might require a master's, the actual benefits of an advanced degree might be less apparent for other career paths.
