This book is part of the ILSS Symposium Proceedings Series.An educated populace provides a public and private good for American society strengthening U.S. military and non-military elements of national security. For the purpose of this symposium, national security is the safekeeping and well-being of the nation as a whole. The U.S. military is a vital component of the national security apparatus, but there are many other means of assuring security in which higher education plays a crucial role.This symposium will explore ways in which higher education serves to strengthen U.S. security through the lens of the human security theoretical framework and all of its components of personal, community, political, food, health-care, economic, and environmental security, as well as others such as energy and military security. The University of North Georgia’s Institute for Leadership and Strategic Studies, College of Education, and Strategic and Security Studies Program will partner with the Army War College, the Association of the United States Army, the Army Strategist Association, and the Atlanta Council on International Relations to host this symposium. Potential questions that may stimulate ideas and contribute to the discussion are:What is the current relationship between higher education and the military in the United States? What is the future of that relationship? What are the contemporary issues in U.S. higher education that impact national security?What U.S. higher education-related national policies or programs exist to enhance national security? What U.S. national security higher educational needs are not being addressed, or being inadequately addressed in the academe?What do other countries do to enhance the relationship between their higher education systems and their own national security interests?
