Six professors from three area colleges will lead a panel discussion on President George Bush's foreign policy at 7 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 6) in Baker Recital Hall at Indiana Wesleyan University. The discussion is open to the public, and there is no admission charge.

The topic, "Christian Reflections on the Bush Administration's National Security Strategy," is part of an IWU series on America's Role in the World.

The panelists are:

• Dr. David Bartley, professor of history and political science at IWU.

The discussion will focus on the formal statement of American foreign policy, "The National Security Strategy of the United States of America," which was issued in September 2002.

Baker Recital Hall is in the Phillippe Performing Arts Center at IWU. The John Wesley Honors College and Division of Social Sciences at IWU will sponsor the program.
