The University of Louisiana Monroe Presidential Lyceum Series hosts what promises
to be a fascinating Evening with Peter Zeihan on Thursday, March 14, 2019.
Peter Zeihan is this year's guest for Lyceum.
ULM, in partnership with President Nick J. Bruno and the Office of Student Life, annually
sponsors the Lyceum Series which brings newsmakers, celebrities and forward-thinking
cultural experts such as Zeihan to campus.
Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist, which means he helps people understand how the
world works.
Zeihan combines an expert understanding of demography, economics, energy, politics,
technology, and security to help clients best prepare for an uncertain future.
Over the course of his career, Zeihan has worked for the U.S. State Department in
Australia, the Washington, D.C., think tank community, and helped develop the analytical
models for Stratfor, one of the world’s premier private intelligence companies.
Zeihan founded his own firm — Zeihan on Geopolitics — in 2012 in order to provide a select group of clients with direct, custom analytical
products. Today those clients represent a vast array of sectors including energy majors,
financial institutions, business associations, agricultural interests, universities
and the U.S. military.
