Distinguished Diplomatic and Consular Speakers Series (DDCSS)
A high-level talk series organized by the Global Affairs Office - the Distinguished Diplomatic and Consular Speakers Series (DDCSS) - invites consular representatives to give talks to the University community. The Distinguished Diplomatic and Consular Speakers Series was launched in 2004. It is a series of open speeches/lectures through which eminent diplomats or world leaders speak on educational, cultural, or economic relations between nations and regions on a purpose of promoting international understanding and respect among peoples of different nations. Since its launching, our speakers include United Nations Under-Secretary-General, Ministers, and Consuls General.
