Tacoma, Wash. – Former national security advisor H.R. McMaster will deliver the University of Puget Sound’s fall 2020 Susan Resneck Pierce Lecture in Public Affairs and the Arts on Sept. 8, at 7:30 p.m.
McMaster’s 34 years of service in the U.S. Army include multiple tours of duty and 13 months as a national security advisor in the Trump White House.

His many essays, articles, and book reviews on leadership, history, and the future of warfare have appeared in The Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, Survival, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.
McMaster holds a Ph.D. in military history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and currently serves as Fouad and Michelle Ajami Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.
