WorldOregon presents the 2023 International Speaker Series
The 2023 International Speaker Series continues this fall, shining the spotlight on bold voices addressing human rights, political and cultural polarization, and movements toward a more peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous future.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marie Yovanovitch served as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan, in addition to other senior government positions during her 33-year diplomatic career. She retired from the State Department in 2020 and is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a non-resident fellow at Georgetown University. She has received multiple awards, including the Presidential Distinguished Service Award (twice), the Secretary’s Diplomacy for Freedom Award, the Trainor Award for Excellence in the Conduct of Diplomacy, and the PEN/Benenson Courage Award.
Ambassador Yovanovitch was most recently selected to be one of the Inaugural Carnegie Distinguished Fellows for Columbia University’s new Institute of Global Politics—established by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs Keren Yarhi-Milo—along with Stacey Abrams, the Georgia voting rights activist and former candidate for governor; Michelle Bachelet, Former President of Chile and Former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights; Eric Schmidt, the former CEO and chairman of Google; and Nobel Peace Prize-winning journalist Maria Ressa.
