Join us for Great Decisions 2025!
Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs. Every year, eight topics are chosen by a panel of experts. Before each of the eight programs, participants are asked to read the corresponding section in the Briefing Book. We will meet to watch a video then discuss the week's topic.

This year, we are excited to welcome Vinnie Ferraro as our Facilitator. Mr. Ferraro holds MIA in International Relations from Columbia University and a PhD in PolySci from MIT. He was on the Editorial Board at the New England Journal of Political Science, and has a long list of publications on topics related to Alternative Energy, International Relations, and Global Poverty, among others.

Meetings will be held every other Tuesday, 4:30-6, beginning Feb. 11.
Please register and purchase your Briefing Book ahead of time. Briefing Books are $35. We accept cash or check (made out to the Richard Salter Storrs Library). You will be notified by email when the Briefing Books are available which is usually toward the end of January.

This Week's Topic: Apr. 22: The Future of NATO and European Security - European security is more uncertain than it has been for decades. Putin’s Russia has launched a war with Ukraine on its doorstep, and America’s uncertain role as leader of NATO and security provider has been called into question with the failure of Congress to pass supplemental military support for Ukraine. What are Europe’s options, and how might developments on both sides of Western Europe – in Ukraine and across the Atlantic – impact its choices? What are America’s stakes in NATO and Europe’s strategic dilemmas?
