The students participated in morning sessions led by SMU professors Dr. Seyom Brown and Dr. Delores M. Etter. Brown discussed the Just War Doctrine in the context of recent US foreign policy. Etter spoke on the topic of emerging technologies being used in war and homeland surveillance.
The day culminated by the three JBS Law Magnet students joining additional students from JBS Law Magnet and other schools at McFarland Auditorium to hear former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates speak. He spoke passionately about not setting rigid goals in life and being open to opportunities. After Dr. Gates' speech Kelsey, Q and Rolando joined a smaller group to dine with Dr. Gates at the Umphrey Lee Center.
SMU hosts the Hart Global Leaders Forum each year. Past speakers have included General Colin Powell and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
