Major General Gronski has commanded troops in Iraq, Europe and, as Commanding General of the 28th Infantry Division, oversees the men and woman who serve in Pennsylvania's National Guard. Major General Gronski also deployed the 28th Infantry Division headquarters in support of Exercise Rochambeau in France during the summer of 2014. Joined by his Army colleagues Colonel Michael Wawrzyniak and Lieutenant Colonel Judah Whitney, both of whom have worked with NATO in various capacities, Major General Gronski will discuss his perspectives on NATO, the state of the Transatlantic Relationship, various security and defense issues, and the important role that Pennsylvania's own National Guard has played.

Major General Gronski and his colleagues will also be visiting with students informally at a luncheon after the lecture. If you would like to attend this luncheon, which will be paid for by the EUCE/ESC, please register in advance by writing to Steve Lund at slund@pitt.edu to RSVP.
